Villains

I steal,
I smoke,
I drink,
I gamble,
I punch,
I hurt,
I do all of the bad.

You see me as red,the ever colour fo anger ;
You see me as green,the hue of greed and disgust ;
You see me as black,the epitone of darkness ; 
But I'm in every way just like you.

I cry,
I fall,
I get hurt,
I get sick,
I get scared,
I make mistakes.

I die!

You don't see me as blue, a sadness conformed into a hue;
You don't see me as purple,an embodiment of fear; 
You don't see me as white,the ever innocent  colour;
Because before I was this , I was just like you
and I guess you'll  never see how the evil in me brought out the good in you.

Tokollo, I like the way you have used color to get your points across. The ending made me smile, for it is said "there is a reason for everyone."
