The Story Of A Hero

What the Hero Does, and how it never ends in happiness.

A regular person the world doesn't see,

blends into the backgruond with you and me.

Nothing new to this person

nothing special to the eye,

but underneath what the physical shows beats the man inside.

 

Longing for love that never knew he existed

he watched her and cared for her only from a distance.

occasional glances

and smiles from time to time

 

waiting for her and perhaps standing up

he finds his powers lurking

and like a fledgling

they come out.

 

Finding his power, Feeling revived and refreshed,

now time to find what to do with himself.

To take the high road is to protect the unapperciative,

to do the wrong is to kill the merciful.

 

The persuasion is there and tempting it is,

but the better man wins and fights for the public

a hero he lives.

 

but not all are for him

for some he is wrong.

For some he is unwanted

unloved for what he does.

 

And although they grate on him

the others thank him so

and to protect them he is loyal

thier safty is his goal.

 

Enemies arise and they find his secret love

and use this one against him

take her far above.

 

they hold her for a ramsom

her life for his

but in the end they ride away together

the hero and the damsel that is.

 

it's not until she knows

that he is the kid she once ignored

that the hero means nothing to her

and inthe ned the hero stands alone.
