Hero

I don't think I could

Ever be the hero, in any book

That was ever written about me. 

I wonder if I could even be granted

The role of a sidekick: or if that would be

Too much for me. I won't be saving the day, 

No, not today, not now, not ever. 

To you, I am a main character

But you are the protagonist

And it's your story, and you kindly hand me

The role of the antagonist, tell me I don't 

Play my part well enough. 

I'm supposed to be the villan, 

Supposed to explode every second 

So someone like you can save the world forever:

Even if it is my own book, 

I'm not up for any heroic business, not now, 

Not ever.
