Poem - So I Became a Hero

So I Became a Hero Myself

I was born in a condemned domain

Buried in blank words and dyed obscenities

Exiled from surreality

And rescaled to negative me

Alive in a world decked in shades of lies

And crowded with body breaking banes

We learn to fight and die

Once kind hearts are suborned to war

I abandon every me in my life for loud disguise

My mind succumbs to the assaults of doubts

I wish for a wash for thoughtless words

A lozenge soap to pop into my deserving mouth

Lonely languishing leeches vitality

Overbeating renders my isolated heart numb

Petrified tissue in a brittle ivory cage

The strained muscle suffering fatigue

Make yesterday’s replay dissipate

Lying in your pool then the demise of your light

Alarms screaming my name

We were lost from each other

I forgot myself then I found myself turned around

I resolved to evolve

Take up the mask

Prove the day could end in my soul and restart in my heart

The end of a battle is a meaningless pause in my fight

Three words to direct my course

Every hero falls

So I rise and I rise again

You see me and I look you in your soul

I relinquish the disguise, no more faking

I am just another masked freak

Because I choose to be

So do not stop me

Just love me now and lose me later

Heroes never fall forever

We return ever again
