A Villain's Wisdom
- A Villain's Wisdom -
What sort of world is this, that these words,
ring more true with each and every passing hour?
Hate has become more common than is love,
and one is called evil because they are different!
My only crime is that I am unusual and unique,
whilst for that there are those who wish me dead.
In society today, there is much that is absurd,
a society that robs the marginalized of their power.
Good balance is lost; no as below as is above,
whilst the world burns beneath the very firmament!
Too many hands seeking to cause me to break,
making me long to fill their hearts all with dread.
How is it that adults never truly understand me,
yet in the company of a child, I can find my peace?
Humanity has lost its' capacity for good reason,
and one bad day has become a series of sufferings.
I once longed to save mankind, to lead it bright,
into a future where no more pain could be known.
But humanity rejects me, destroying its' destiny,
too many are enslaved, only few desire to be free!
Only in the children is there hope most pleasing,
and something beautiful within hearts glimmering.
Too few adults who have that same perfect light,
the way is harsher than ever, true paths overgrown.
Walk with me if you can, understand if possible,
the things that I say, and the things that are unsaid.
Know the reason for my every madness, be wise,
enough to realize that what I do is for fair purpose.
I speak only the things that carry in them wisdom,
even when my words are angry, they are still truth.
What must I become to survive a world so hostile,
that because of others' malice I have bitterly bled?
She gazes up at me, as I see love in her soft eyes,
and I remain her champion, as she is all my bliss.
For this child, I would raze a thousand kingdoms,
until all pain from this world was at last removed!
Every villain begins as a hero seeking what is best...
until the path diverges, and the darkness makes sense.
My nightmares are many, and infrequent is my rest...
my pain is great, and my fire must be allowed to vent.
For her, I shall be even as the night itself if I must be,
and bathe the universe in flame, to restore its' dignity!

Never regret being as you are, Kara! You are perfect even in your imperfections, and in my experiences there is no difference between a hero and a villain. Only in which side people choose to look at things from. Most people have a flawed perspective, but my perspective is being able to see things from all sides without judgement. I understand your pain, and I can understand your meaning in your words. Keep your eyes always on the things that make you feel bright and happy and full of delight! It never matters what society or the world thinks, only at the end of the day how you feel. There is ease in joy.

I don't regret being me, Cami, never worry about that. Of all the things I do have some regrets about it in life, being myself is never one of them. It isn't easy being me, as cliche as that may sound, but it is all I can be. It is just a difficult thing sometimes to live a world that even as enlightened as it can be is still a long way off from being a place that I do find truly welcoming. But when I think about Chloe and how much I love her and all she means to me and about sweet Madeline and other children like Maddy... not sure if I ever told you about Madeline, she's a friend of Chloe's and I've come to love her a great deal as well... it makes me feel stronger, because to them I am a hero and something to idolize and look up to, and that kind of sweet adoration along with their love for me keeps me going and able to overcome what weaknesses I do possess. I am grateful that you have the perspective you do in life, Cami, it makes you a very understanding person about so many things not a lot of people would understand. I will try always to focus on the delights of life rather than the things that fill me with sorrow. You give good advice, as always! :D

Hey, villains are always way cooler than the good guys! And sexier too, cuz you totally are, Kara my babe. Yeah, Maddy totally digs ya, so I let her have her fun times with ya since you both enjoy spending time together. I like how she's got a calming effect on ya that helps when you're stressed out and need someone other than a therapist or me to talk to about your problems. Yeah, I'll agree Camilla's got a unique perspective on life. I don't get it most of the time, but it's cool if you dig it. Yeah, you're definitely a hero to me and Maddy... some villains are heroes to their own people, after all so it's super cool. All this talk of heroes and villains! Now, I'm in the mood to watch a superhero movie later tonight, maybe a Marvel one or something. Love ya, honey!

I have to agree, villains are a thousand times more fascinating than heroes ever seem to be. I find them easier to identify with, also, for various reasons that actually make a lot of sense. I am very grateful that you're cool about me and Maddy, she does definitely have a soothing effect on me that I find actually rather uncanny. I'm always happy to be someone's hero, it means I'm doing something right at least. Hey, I love superhero movies too! They are something of a favorite genre of mine to watch. Love you too, sweetie! :D
