The Real Villain

I tried to write a book
About the horror story that is my life 
Or the horrific pieces of it
My life hasn’t been all bad
& I have made the best of it

One mistake I made
Was who I cast as villains in my story 
It isn’t the fault of my lost love
Or his wife
Or her friends 

Although there is a great loss in life
When timing is bad 
And two people miss each other romantically 
I completely missed the point 

The real villains in this story are
My misguided rush to get married 
And even more, my mental illness 
My mental illness has affected my relationships, my career, my whole life trajectory for the worse
If I could rewrite my story as a dramatic comedy, as opposed to the horror story I originally wrote, I would.
