creatures

i am genuinely curious
about people
who enjoy picking on others
for a reason,
or lack of.

i wonder,
does seeing the pain
in their victims' eyes
make them feel proud
that they have
successfully accomplished
their mission
of making someone miserable?

when they lie in bed at night
and think of what happened that day
do they feel warm and happy?
do they say
"wow i made someone cry. i am so clever"?

do they think
their life
will get better
when they find
more souls
to torture?
