You were my hero once. I loved you unconditionally. Never flawed -- just bright. I didn't understand what was wrong, That I was being cheated. My life wasn't what you told me it was. I was different, but not special. I knew you. Every inch, every breath, every glance. I admired you. Sat and watched. I was your number one fan. Your smile saved me. So did your kiss. Trapped by your arms I could never be happier. Holding your hand -- flying above the clouds. But this is just another sad poem I am writing while crying because of you. I wonder how many of those I have... What type of hero does that? What type of hero hurts the good people? I thought you stood for justice -- fairness. But really the only fairness you practiced was making sure there was enough of your love to fairly go around to everyone. Cause like I realized Hero, I'm different, but not special.

5 minute writings are a new strategy for me. They probably will never be structured and half won't be poems, but they will be a collection. Some will be happy and some will be sad and some will not make sense and some will be masterpieces.
