What I was taught doesn't feel right
In a world where darkness seems to be the only light
I was told to follow the rules
To never question, to never be a fool
But as I grew older, I began to see
That the world wasn't as black and white as they made it out to be
I started to question, to think for myself
To break away from the norm, to find my own self
I was taught to fear what was different
To judge and to hate without any repent
But as I opened my heart and my mind
I realized that love is the only thing that can bind
I was taught that success meant money and fame
That happiness was just a fleeting game
But as I searched for meaning in this life
I found that true joy comes from within, not from strife
I was taught to conform, to blend in with the crowd
To never speak up, to never be proud
But I've learned that my voice has power
That I can make a difference in this hour
So now I stand tall, and I speak my truth
No longer confined by the teachings of my youth
I will forge my own path, no longer bound by their chains
For what I was taught doesn't feel right, and for that, I will change

Villainized
PoesíaVillainized is a collection of poems that delves into my personal hell and the struggles I've faced. I am not the hero of my narrative; a minor side-character? Perhaps. The villain? Maybe. The interpretation is yours to decide.
