She's lived too long not to be hated
Time has passed, it never cared to stay
It's too late, the monster's been created

The younger version never was elated
Edges of her life had started to fray
She's lived too long not to be hated

For a little while, she stayed jaded
Nothing left forgave what they say
It's too late, the monster's been created

Despite her strength the tears cascaded
Only bad intentions stayed to play
She's lived too long not to be hated

Evil and lies together have mated
As she patiently waited for their fateful day
It's too late the monster's been created

Everything she had was berated
She could not remain in her old way
She's lived too long not to be hated
It's too late the monster's been created


The author's comments:
I had to write a villanelle for class and I based it off of one of my friends who was, and still is, going throug a hard time. It basically chronicles her struggles through school and social life because, at one point or another, everyone becomes hated in some way by somebody and it becomes torturous to deal with for some people.
