Antagonist's point of view

Poem

so finally you have come to realize

that all this world is just a mirage

Someone's imagination to skip reality

creating characters to ease his loneliness fatality

in our free will, manipulation comes in disguise

Getting roles to play from a great lord in the skies

you say I'm the bad guy! No, I just lost my sanity

I can't stand getting played, I can't stand this brutality

But I can just laugh hard knowing this speech is just his creativity

Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

I enjoyed this poem. I like the combo of serious and playful: there was anger and defensiveness but also a sense of feared and mighty god or a deity mixed in with a playfulness and frivolity
