Poems from a Quiet Girl // poetry

the villain

I never wanted to be the villain
I never liked the villains in movies
And thought it was stupid to be so cruel

That was until I gained my own villain
That villains name was anxiety
And had a sidekick named depression

I found myself understanding the villains
Because I lived everyday with one in my head
Telling me constantly how I was never enough
And that, no matter how many times they dismissed it,
That nobody liked me, and no one would ever love me

And I believed my villain

Because my villain was me
I was my own worst enemy
I was what everyone feared
And no matter how hard,
I tried i could never get rid of my villain

I never wanted to be the villain
