My Villain Origin Story

Once upon time there was a girl with a want

And though she tried, 

She couldn't be satisfied with the tastiest croissant. 

And so she set out on a quest

Looking for the best

And stumbled upon a holy grail: 

McDonald's, who would never fail. 

Opening up UberEats,

And pondering upon all the delish treats

She could buy and eat at 4 AM.

She settled for her craving

As her hunger needing some saving. 

She pressed the beautiful buttons

To order the big breakfast she so desperately craved. 

She hasn't had it in year

So there's no way she'll end up in tears. 

However, it was not so

And little did she know

That she would end up in tears

Writing a poem and wishing the memory would disappear.

Because her once fluffy eggs were flatter than the pancakes she were served.

The pancakes, only one salvageable, soaking up the Dr. Pepper she yearned for.

The soda she so badly wanted a taste of, emptier than the hopes she had for the future and a pool at the bottom of a nearly soaked brown bag.

Her buttery biscuit, a gray mush that fell apart faster than her dreams.

And the once beautiful, golden hash brown left a soggy, wet taste in her mouth as it mixed with the tears that fell and the residue of the soda.

Once upon a time,

There was a girl with a want.

This girl was me

And this was my villain origin story.
