They disgust me.
Inside us I imagine we are all the same, keeping our final secret silent.
We interact and love, it's in our bones and blood.
We are social animals.
We are Animals.
I speak my mind, breaking boundaries and laws. Freedom with friends.
But one taboo still stands.
I say it alone, whispering the pain to mirrors.
It goes beyond my envy and competition
as no matter how high above them I rise
the smaller you become
the smaller I become.
A Dot.
Only Violence can satiate me now.
Author notes
This was a poem inspired by the novel American Psycho. I hope I conveyed the character strongly, and his blunt view of the world.
I'm very new to this poetry stuff, so anything at all you spot or would like to comment on is most welcome!

Great piece ! Reading your poem reminded me of the existentialism theory about "The other" and "The absurd"
A french philosopher Sartre said that "Hell are the others " and i think that in a way or another your poetry tries to transmit that.
"We are animals
We are social animals"
Aristotle ,the Greek philosopher said "Men is by nature a political animal "
I find your poem dark and very deep .Keep it up .
