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
