Lesson Learned
To think of you, even now, brings anger to my heart and mind.
How could you do this to me and my friends?!?!
You aren't the greatest teacher in the world,
But I've learned an important lesson from you.

Everyone is different.
Can't you just accept that?
You are a monster, a villan, a heartbreaker.
Do you care?
I didn't think so.

You used my friends,
You hurt them,
Made them feel guilty for something they had nothing to do with.
Did you care?
I didn't think so.

I alone resented you.
Slowly the others understood,
And they began to agree with me.
Because they too had be hurt by you
Even more so than me.

I told you, everyone's different.
Will you leave now?
Haven't you caused enough pain
With your shallow, stupid ideas?
Begone from my life,
And the lives of my friends.
I've learned my lesson from you.
