CHANGING PERSPECTIVES

My mind gets stuck sometimes.
Trapped between perspectives
Where I am both the hero and the villain
Of a story that repeats throughout time.

Where no valiant action can be taken
Without being seen as destructive.
Where hearts can not be mended
Without first having been broken.

Sometimes the best role for me to take
In another person's life,
Is as the antagonist to show them
A mirror to their own inner darkness.

Go ahead and make me your villain.
Whatever makes you feel good.
