The Loner's Path

Despised by finesse and mocked by success
He deemed this molestation excess;
Having found friends vain and inadequate
He could no longer wait,
But resolved to tutor the world a lesson,
To milk into it all his poison,
And quench all the smothered wrath; 
He thus embarked upon a loner's path.

Ouch. I can see how that loner could have been driven there. Nice write, enjoyed.
