I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately. This was clearly inspired by them and not by anything else… promise.

-a supervillain is born-

“Who the hell am I?” she asked.
“To stand out in a crowd,
to request attention
not taking flack
and to speak my mind aloud?”

Her venomous thoughts were spat
cruelly to the wind,
the words fell flat
on nearby ears,
too quiet to sink in.

She paused a moment shedding her fear
waiting for her time
Her heartbeat hammered in her ears
voracious with desire
blood running hot with wine.

In that moment, without regret
she set the evil free
Her apetite for her own madness whet
she crowed,
“The world will belong to me!”
