Making Nine

I am a No good No-one and you can't Tell me Otherwise. In the end I've found All that really Matters Is who you were to them, A year before you died. Because I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet, Along with Honesty and Sincerity, And all their friends and Virtues. Rebirth is easy, it's living that gets tricky. Reborn as a sinner: Love me, Hate what I do Best. What I do best Is watch you fall to pieces Limb from crushed bone limb, And what I do best Is write sad songs That I hide away in a corner of my Closet(ed mind). When you die, They remember you with flaws they had of their own. They make it about them, And their pain, As though being a martyr Could actually bring you back. (As though a martyr Could actually come back) So call me Apathy, That'll be my new name. A lack of empathy No pitying sympathy. Because I cannot seem to make you realize, I do not empathize Nor will I ever sympathize With you no-good Nice guys. I'm a bad guy What can I say, I'm the villain, the antagonist, I was put here as a test-- I went wrong, I went far beyond wrong, I took a wrong turn onto the wrong path in the wrong forest Where I just don't belong. So goodbye for the night, and maybe the next few, But remember my number not name, as only the living seem to do. So just remember these words, from time to time: I am a lack of the holy seven-- You see, in place and in honor, I make nine.
