the problem
with heroes
is that everyone thinks
they're perfect
until they're not.
its almost as if
people can't stand to deal
with the dark sides of people that exist
nobody likes discovering
the skeletons that we keep
they'll tell you they care
that they'll always be there
that there's nothing
that could ever
change their mind
until something does
then suddenly
curtains are closed
all good that has once been done
disappears into smoke
people love to say
tell me the truth over a lie any day
but when truth comes knocking
suddenly they're the ones running away
