Humanity Vanquished

When I was an optimist
No one could be purely evil
Everyone had a speck of good
No matter how tiny it was
Or how dull to eye it appeared
Smiles were plentiful
Laughs were always meant kindly
No one hated me
I hated no one
Life was a wonder
No matter what deadline

Then I changed
Slowly but surely
I moved schools
Too many times
At each one being targeted
Simply for the crime
Of a higher IQ
And my eccentric nature
For awhile I was confused
But then I stood tall
It didn’t bother me to be different
A body can only take so much, though
And the seed of hate was planted

For awhile I was content
Being who I am with
Those little ramifications
In this social wasteland
But things could not stay
The God of Chaos was not content
Poof!
He happened
I fell
And now, where do I sit?
On my own, in front of a machine
Part of a sick and twisted movie
Morphed out of real life
