Not Everyone Needs Saving

Alone and content: that is what I was.

Solitude was my friend.

My constant companion, it never let me down.

Yet you came along and took that away.

From my tower, you took me.

A hero, you thought of yourself, for what you had done.

But for me, an egoist is all you were.

Who ever said I needed saving?

Thrusted, I was, into an uknown world.

Abundant, I saw, cruelty was.

People, I had never imagined, were driven to selfishness.

Suffocating is what society was.

I did not want to see this; see this misery that is humanity.

Taken away from home, I did not want to be.

Yet here I am, with only one question left in mind.

Who ever said I needed saving?
