Villainelle, First Attempt

I didn’t know why I was wrong.
I thought I was bad company.
That’s what it said in that old song.

Just got along to get along
That’s what I thought my life should be
I didn’t know why I was wrong.

To get it on! To bang a gong!
Diamond star halo waits for me!
That’s what it said in that old song.

Felt wrong inside my whole life long
At least that’s how it seemed to be
I didn’t know why I was wrong.

I wondered as I walked along
Someone in my head that wasn’t me
Just like it said in that old song.

The radio played another song
About the man I’ll never be
I didn’t know why I was wrong
That’s what it said in that old song
