You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You are wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

- Three Days Grace

You were my friend, my mentor. I came to you to tell you my problems. I thought you were listening because you cared, but I guess you were just trying to find my weaknesses. Darth Sidious is cruel and evil, you never cared about me. I try to tell myself that Palpatine did, but in my heart, I know Palpatine was never real. He was just a brilliant facade for the evil of you. Still, I liked Palpatine a lot. I wish I had noticed before, I could have saved myself from this ultimate feeling of betrayal. Maybe if I had paid closer attention I would have seen what everyone else saw. Oh, I'm not saying anyone knew you were Sidious, but they knew your intentions were not completely pure. Even the best masks show the true face behind them. I can't believe I didn't see that. I was too wrapped up in your little act, blinded by the total darkness that surrounded you. And I confess that when you told me you could save Padmé, I thought about it. I thought that maybe you could be right. Your own charade turned on you, though.

I know how well you lie.

I don't need you. I have my own friends, my own family. And they truly do care about me. You'd just feed me lies, turning me into another dark monster of hate and cruelty. I don't want that. I definitely don't want to be a clone of you. So goodbye Sidious. I am not like you, I will not strike you down in hate, but the galaxy needs this, so goodbye.
