Dear Villain,


Dear Villain,

This is a letter to thank you for what you do.  I know that so many want to rid you from the world, remove any trace of the evil that you bring.  I however want to thank you for what you bring to the world.  You bring opposition to everything humanity holds just.  You want to bring all of society to its knees because of how they are, how they have treated you.  You, being different and seeing the world in a different light.

I see you as someone who proves that what we think is right.  Without you there would not be a sounding board for the ideas of life that we present.  You prove that we are right, you prove that we are good.  You make us innocent, you make us just, you make us heroes.

Tomorrow you will try to stop the world and destroy the comfort of how we live.  Tomorrow I will wake and stop you and tomorrow you again will make me a hero and the people will love me.  Tomorrow you will make everyone celebrate me again.  Without you I would not have anyone to fight, to prove my strengths and might.  Without you tomorrow I would only be arrogant and a brute, but tomorrow you will make me a hero.  Thank you, because without you, without opposition, there would only be status quo.  You bring the evil so that we can define the good.  Through all that you show us is wrong we define what is right.  You make me a hero, and I will defeat you tomorrow.  Thank you for making me.

Sincerely,
Your arch nemesis, the hero.

In braces

I've only been told, stories from others. They pass their beliefs on to be those of mine. I heard that we are miracles. I've also hear that we are the spectrum of light and energy given form. We can build, we can destroy, we can love, we can create. All the same power of the galaxies within us. We are built from the stars. We are worlds of energy bounded by our skin. Each of us walking miracles. Yet with all this energy within me, all this strength of a universe, I find myself so powerless in this moment.  This moment that a star puts its arms around me.  This embrace that has put me on my knees.  This moment that every spark of light, every atom, every breath of energy now pulses for another universe, another star that shines so bright. And as the infinite space around us travels, the divine power that made these stars collide.  Please hold me up, keep these stars bright.  Hold me as I hold you through this charismatic shower of universes.  Fo...

Further in

Protected like a fragile breath, I keep safe as not to hurt.  Then I was scratched and everyone took care of me.  They bandaged it up and cleaned it well.  It hurt... and I remembered. I healed and again protected myself, remembering only the pain.  Then I was scratched again, and no one to bandage it, no one to keep me from looking at the blood.  I remember the pain but I was used to it, I could feel it, I was drawn to it.  I wanted to see why it hurt, why it made me cry, so I stuck my finger in.  Excruciating waves quickly bloomed from my heart to my whole body and just as quick I pulled my finger out and the relief was divine. I shuttered to imagine the pain, yet I grit my teeth and stuck my finger further in. The next day I walked aimlessly with a scar on my tear.  Harden to protect me, keep the hurtful things out.  I could touch it but I felt nothing.  I knew it was for the better.  I knew that it was the way it was me...

Sold myself

People say I've changed. I've changed just because I am trying to get you to like me.  That I have given up the traits people come to recognize in me. Given up what has made me who I am today. Yet that person now has met you. That person has grown to admire you. That person thinks highly of the person you have come to represent to those around you. That people think you are an outstanding person. So if I sold myself to you, changed to be a person you would admire. Shouldn't that mean the person you would want would be good too?  Maybe a change is what we need? A change for good perhaps, a change from the stagnate, or a change from now. Or is it that I have changed from what everyone else wants? Or I have changed from what the stagnate has made me? It's difficult to see if you drive the change or if the change is driving you. I hope you just respect me, and if you don't I can change.
