I have what's called the power of corruption. If I'm not careful, it'll take a hold of me and compel me to destroy everything in sight. That's considered the typical fate of those like me. I have no interest in the fear, despair, or hatred this power tries to feed me, which is how I've maintained control when others succumbed. The possibility that none of that control I developed means anything here is something I resent.
For better or for worse, this place locked away a lot of my actual powers related to corruption. I imagine it didn't actually want me destroying anything, and that my loss of control was a side effect that didn't factor into its intentions at all.
On a practical level, it's safer for everyone else if I don't have them. But when I know it likely wasn't done in good faith, I don't care for something else deciding that for me.
I would choose to change the nature of these powers rather than to lose them. Even if I got rid of them, there are still others in the same situation. Denying what I am and what I have would only be running away and averting my eyes.
