Lying To Yourselves

In a world where I'm despised
hated  to the point of disgust
for doing what comes naturally
and what has come to define me
But what if the tables were turned
and it were you instead of I
what if it were the fairies 
and the pixies
and the very idea 
of such creatures
that you've procured
to attempt to balance 
supposed good over evil
that sucked you dry 
and roamed the nights
and poisoned your people
and like a virus
imprinted themselves on you?
what if i told you it was the
need to justify their existance
and with a seemingly beautiful cause
and not I?
and that everything 
you've ever experienced of my world
is a reversal and lie?
I am not the menace
the real monster?
your own mind.
