Villiam reflection

Villain’s Reflection
By Faith
When I close my eyes,
they blur with the tears I’ve been holding.
I feel happy—
but empty,
like sugar without its taste.
Mourning a past
that keeps repeating itself.
I hope for a friend,
someone who can listen
to the lines of my words
without complaining.
A mother who laughs,
joyfully—
outside and inside—
with her kids.
But betrayal came from every corner.
They betrayed me,
and now—
I am the traitor,
just like the villain.
But who tells the story
of the villain’s tears?
Who hears the silent screams
that echo in the hollows of the night?
I reach out,
but my hands hold air—
grasping shadows,
hugging my past in silence.
Maybe I wasn’t meant to be the hero.
Maybe I was shaped by the cracks,
the ones no one cared to fill.
But still—
I hope.
I dream.
For that one friend,
for that one moment
where my voice is not a burden,
but a melody worth it
