We Are the Villains in This Story by Melissa R. Mendelson

Archive Original Lit Poetry

We are the villains in this story.
We are the ones
that you don’t want to meet.
Men and women
marching to the union beat.
Villainized and despised
across the newspaper sheet.
Hard-working and dedicated,
a thought left fleet.
Family and friends
just trying to make ends meet,
but we are the ones
for you to cross the street.
Villainized and despised,
breaking you in defeat
for we are villains
in this story,
heroes turned foe
stealing all the glory,
burdens across your backs
not those trying to live ordinary.
We are the villains in this story.
