Princess

I suppose I'll confess it,
The truth I can't face.
All I wanted,
In the end,
Was to be better than everyone else.
But it seems I'm common,
Average,
Mediocre,
Penultimate.
I am not good enough.
I am a failure.
A selfish little girl
That wasn't up to the task.

You called me a princess,
But I was never so fair.
I am cruel.
I am heartless.
I am cold and sharp and hard as stone.
I didn't want to, I didn't mean to,
But I cut you deep and drank your blood.
I am a leech. A monster. Vampiric.
Pale, pained, and self-important.

What have I done to you?
What have I done?
I am all that I hate,
Unable to love.
I have destroyed
What I cared for,
Undone
What I wanted,
Dispelled
My desires...

And as you can see,
It's all about me.
