Everlasting Hero

by Till Death Do Us Part   Feb 8, 2008


Save a life, become a hero, become a hero and you gain fame. The more fame you gain the more so called villains you think you must stop. The more villains you stop the more people you have hating you. The hate soon turns to revenge, which leads eventually to death of a loved one. Now the hero you once was is in need of a hero, you sit in a dark room wondering why you weren't there for them, you wonder if you can be consider a hero any longer. Day after day you sit in dark room thoughts racing through your scrambled mind, thoughts of death perhaps killing them, or even yourself fill your mind as your body shakes with cold sweat. Dried tears and wasted anger fill the room with broken lamps and torn newspaper articles. At last you decide to do the unthinkable to kill those who killed your loved ones. Those hands that shook in the dark, those hands that shook mayors, and other important hands are now stained with blood. You don't stop with just one, your hand longs for death, your heart knows it wrong. After the dirty deed is done, you go from the loved here to the hated insane assassin. Days later you find yourself in your apartment watching the local news, you see your building being surrounded by police, you scramble o get out the door but knock over a candle, now the the door is blocked with raging flames. Slowly you walk to the window, now you see the saddened faces of children who looked up to you, parents that saw you as a hero, police that respected you. Thoughts race through your mind, your hands start to shake, your breathing speeds up, your legs go weak, then you find yourself jumping out the window the hard concrete below. Your funeral was held days after, many came, many tears were shed. They remember the days when you were the hero, the one to do something no one else would, family members of the ones you killed came to the funeral even they shed tears. Upon the blackened tombstone it reads "Here lies a once great hero, forever will he be in our hearts." To this day...you my friend are known as the everlasting hero.
