Did it make you all feel better
when you took turns using me as a punching bag?
calling me the weakest link?
throwing me to the bottom so you could keep climbing?
blaming me for all your failures to show basic human decency?
making me the group scapegoat for all your pointless disasters?
condemning me
because I stood up for what's right
when you thrived on being cruelly wrong?
for not being as vapid, coldhearted and fake as you?
ostracizing me
for being the only one that wouldn't play along
with your hateful games?
I'm not even mad anymore
because you were technically right all along
I really am nothing like you
I never have been
I never will be
I never belonged with you
I never fit in with you
I was never meant to be one of you
and I thank the stars above every single day
that I didn't turn out rotten
self-serving
and corrupted
down to the marrow of the bone
like you all did
