The Villain's Origin Story

I always thought I was good,  

Well-mannered and smart enough,  

Talented in many fields,  

Kickass, if you will,  

But what if it turns out  

I'm actually just the worst type of person?  

What if no one has ever realized  

And that's what makes this life sad?  

Maybe I will always play the villain,  

After all, evil can be more fun,  

It may not always last,  

The smartest make it out alive.  

The saying goes,  

We do have all the ways to be W.I.C.K.E.D.  

And okay, forever being your villain.  

I never wanted to be the bad guy,  

But maybe that's just who I am,  

And maybe it's time to embrace it,  

To revel in the darkness,  

To dance with the demons,  

And let the shadows consume me.  

I always thought I was good,  

But perhaps I was just pretending,  

Putting on a facade  

To hide the darkness within me.  

But now, the facade is crumbling,  

And the truth is laid bare.  

I'm not the hero of this story,  

I'm not the savior or the saint,  

I'm the one they warn you about,  

The one they whisper about in hushed tones.  

I always thought I was good,  

But maybe I was wrong all along.  

Maybe I was just fooling myself,  

Pretending to be something I'm not.  

So here I am,  

Embracing the darkness,  

Embracing the villain within.  

I may not be the hero,  

But I can still be powerful,  

I can still be feared.  

I may never be loved,  

But I can be respected,  

Feared and revered by all.  

I may be the villain,  

But I can make it work,  

I can thrive in the shadows,  

And let my darkness shine.  

So watch out, world,  

For I am the villain,  

And I will not be stopped.  

I will not be tamed,  

I will not be controlled.  

I am the darkness,  

And I am here to stay.  

So embrace the darkness within you,  

Embrace the villain that lurks  

Beneath the surface.  

For we are all a little wicked,  

And it's okay to let it show.  

It's okay to be the villain,  

To be the one they fear.  

So raise your glass to the villains,  

To the ones who walk in shadow.  

For in a world of heroes,  

It's the villains who truly shine.  

So here's to us,  

The wicked and the feared,  

The villains of the world.  

May we always be okay.
