Title: The Psychopath

Formed from faulty genes, something bad in their blood
Seemingly charming and high functioning
Psychopaths are born not made
Inside there's a dark rumbling

Holding down jobs and having successful families
They try to lead a normal life
Could be the man or woman next door
Who knows where they've hidden the knife?

Sometimes involved in crime
Carefully planned and executed
Making and breaking rules
Their behaviour escalated

Agitated and angered easily
Not necessarily violent
But sometimes seriously so
Laying in the darkness, silent
