Why Am I the Bad Guy?

Why am I the bad guy?
Why am I the wicked witch?
Why am I the evil ugly troll?
Why am I the blonde-haired bitch?

Why am I the evil queen?
Or the selfish stepmom, oh so cruel?
The power hungry super villian?
The despicable haunting gruel?

Why am I the reprimanded,
While you bask in heroic glory?
Why am I the hated antagonist,
When there's just a one-sided story?

Every story, movie, film, and book
With any plot that's slightly worth a look,
Will contain a character only seen,
As evil, twisted, bad, or mean.

But why am I the bad guy?
Why am I the wicked witch?
Why am I the evil ugly troll?
Why am I the blonde-haired bitch?

Okay, since you said please...

This is a great poem from the structure to the subject, I definitely have to agree that almost everything in this world is one sided. That's just how people have been programmed; once someone gets an idea about someone in their head it almost always stays there.
It sucks that you have to be the bad guy in this case but I'm sure you're the good guy for a lot more people than you are the bad guy for.
Again, great job!
P.S. I would've commented even if you hadn't of said please :P


This life is the "once upon a time" kind of fairy tale that will sold to the masses 2000 years after it ends
