Make me out to be something I'm not,

a clone to live in your head with malicious intent.

Shape her around assumptions and lies, the kind I've never told,

so she wishes you harm as I wish you well,

a silent harmony you will never hear.

Teach her to mimic all your hate-fueled self-talk

until you let yourself believe it came from me in the first place.

Let her convince you of the worst,

and I will never be able to change your mind.

You pushed me off a pedestal and branded me a villain,

positions I never asked for either way.
