A Poem

Always the villain

Never the victim

If it has happened to you

I probably caused it

Either through action or inaction

It doesn’t matter the infraction

I can’t ask for anything

No question will be entertained

So long as I can be blamed

Nobody but I am responsible

I am the cause of misery and pain

In everyone’s life but my own

Because even in my life

I have to own up to others mistakes

Others choices

When I attempt to defend myself

I must remain voiceless

Because I chose all of this

Nothing was thrust upon me

I can’t just be doing my best with what I’ve been handed

Oh, no

I had to have a hand in it

Like the bandit I am

Because I always have “a plan”
