I am not Ev1L


I am not evil

When you looked away for two minutes, I am still the same person I was 2 minutes ago.

You plucked the red blood out of my heart and left a black ooze of hatred

When you macerate my very existence, I reconfigure myself to appease your appetite

And I am sick of it

Learn to love me for who I am

Not hate me for what I have done

Learn to love me for me

Not hate me for stupid mistakes

Learn to accept me for who I am

Not hate me for dying

Because I am not evil
