In shadows they tread
A hero's heart turned to stone
Hope's light flickers low
Once bright, the valor
Now dims in twilight's grasp
Dreams drown in despair
Beneath the mask worn
A villain's laughter echoes
Justice turned to rage
Betrayed by the light
The hero's resolve crumbles
A path forged in pain
Silent whispers creep
Injustice, a bitter seed
Grows wild in the dark
No savior in sight
The scales now tipped towards wrath
With each breath, they fall
The world once held dear
Now painted in shades of gray
Allies turned to foes
A crown forged in strife
The throne of despair claimed fast
The heart beats alone
In the mirror's gaze
Reflections of battles lost
A soul now unchained
Emerging from dusk
The villain's power ignites
No longer a pawn
Once a beacon bright
Now a shadow in the night
The hero's last breath
In the rise of dark
A tale of loss and revenge
Hope's flame flickers out
As dawn breaks anew
The villain stands on the ashes
A king forged in pain

Villainized
PoetryVillainized 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.
