I’m in a dark hole of confusion, wondering what am I supposed to think?
Am I supposed, to think I’m the problem or the solution?
I don’t know which one is better.
Am I supposed, to think I’m the villain or the superhero?
No one really knows who the victim is.
Am I supposed, to think I’m the disease or the cure?
Both are so hurtfully rejected.
Am I supposed, to think I’m the beast or the beauty?
People can’t seem to decide what true beauty is.
Since the world can’t make up their mind about what’s right and wrong tell me, what am I supposed to think?

I wrote this poem as an experiment to see if I could write using free verse. I also wanted to speak on how the stereotypical versions of "good" and "bad" have alot in common.
