His means are despicable and selfless.
He creeps through the dark of my soul.
I am weak against his artfulness,
call riot control.
His ways are nothing benevolent,
these scars on my wrist be the stigma.
Built upon a foundation of malevolent.
He is the enigma.
Evil and destructive,
who may he be?
His plans constructive,
he is me.
