QUEEN of the bad guys

Presenting the latest poem from VALIDATION, life is lyrical irony:

Read QUEEN of the bad guys now, at Anvi’s Thoughts Caught

I donโ€™t want to be the bad guy,
I donโ€™t want to end no careers,

I just donโ€™t want to run, run, run away,
From all my problems, and the so-called hatred,

I didnโ€™t want to have to be the only one,
Who told you the truth to your face,

I didnโ€™t have to stay up late,
Helping them through counseling and trauma,

I donโ€™t do anything Iโ€™m not proud of,
I donโ€™t do much to blame the other,

But stop trying to assume Iโ€™m the one
whoโ€™ll take it quietly, lying down to your symphony,

If you make me the demon, then thatโ€™s who
you will find, and if you make me the angel, then well

we wouldnโ€™t be here, then, would we?
But Iโ€™m standing at the edge of the ocean

waiting to hear an apology, waiting to see
your memories, waiting to talk this out, like adults,

But then you went ahead and made me the bad guy,
So donโ€™t blame me for the
slip of the knife,
curve of the blade,
tumbling glass of poison,

Because you made a choice and now, youโ€™re lying in it,
Lie, Lie, Lie to Me; Lie, Lie, Lie in this Mess you Made,

I didnโ€™t choose this lifestyle, it came and chose me,
I was brought to a cave blindfolded, and two hours later I was the Queen,

Not everyone can pull off Taylor Swift Karma,
just like not everyoneโ€™s made to stomach Betrayal.
