    The title is "Lament of the Deceiver", and it's written from the point of view of an antagonist. Not really that good at poetry or whatever, but I was curious what other people might think of it:

    This is it, the big reveal
    The true nature, exposed to all
    My deceit knew no bounds
    But my facade has ended

    I had hoped it would never come to this
    I thought I could end it before it began
    But I simply delayed the inevitable
    The hero always breaks free to fight

    But am I really the villain?

    It's quite possible, that, in my haste
    I made myself out to be a dangerous foe
    That's not what I want, no conflict needed here
    Together, if we join hands, we can fix this world

    But I know you will refuse
    It's in your blood
    You've fought for justice since the beginning
    That fateful day you saved us all from his grip

    And time, time, time again, you've reiterated the same
    A world shall not be controlled, but given freedom
    But then what do we do?
    All the hatred, spurn, destruction?

    There will be no end

    The abuse and neglect will continue until this world is no more
    Is that what you want?

    The issue is complex, there may very well be no solution
    However, I'm strong in my resolve, never surrender
    With my power, I can remove the pain from this world

    You must understand, that, through the sorrow I've felt over the years
    I've turned my own mind into a frayed mess of emotion

    But that's where you came in
    You fixed it, even if only for a brief moment
    Our love was strong
    Now? I'm not so sure

    All I want is for it all to end
    But yet you deny me the right to make that change
    Your distaste feels just like the blade you've struck across my chest

    Whats this? A strange feeling
    A dark presence seeps through every wound
    A sharp burning sensation shoots through my being

    It... hurts...

    I don't want this, I say to myself
    I don't want to be a monster
    I don't want to die
    I don't want anyone to suffer like I did

    I'm... not dead

    I'm not dead

    Not sure if it was through sheer perseverance
    Maybe my determination
    Or maybe the power I granted myself
    "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"
    The inky blackness swarms
    It overtakes all of my own matter

    But what is this?
    I can now mould it
    Twist it
    Contort it
    Sharp tendrils of shadow emerge from our battlefield
    They are mine
    All mine...
    Mineminemineminemine

    My mind is irretrievable at this point
    Yet my focus is clear
    I no longer care whether you choose to join my cause
    Because if you aren't with me
    Then I will crush you like a bug

    I laugh for a prolonged period of time


    What have I become?
