THE VILLAIN MAKER

What I’d like to tell you

Will never pass my lips

My words mean too much

To end up changed, twisted

Because that’s what you do

Turn hankies into birds

And people clap and cheer

Then they point and jeer

When you tell them

I’m the one, the horrible one

Turning birds into hankies

When the truth is

I was once one of the birds

You turned into a villain

NOTE: I had a friendship that turned toxic. He loved to play the hero.

He watched me and got to know all my secrets, triggers, worries, and fears. He knew when and how to push my buttons and then when I cried and removed myself he’d tell everyone he would take care of me.

He knew exactly what to say. And how to say it. As long as everyone believed I was the broken one then nobody could see how broken he was.

  1. Ancient tales tell of wizards
    The evil wizards
    Turning princesses to stone
    Or princes to frogs or toads
    Or cursing beauties to eternal sleep
    And the magics of heroes
    That free the cursed and bound ones
    But rarely, if ever, do they tell
    The magic of those who free themselves
