So I have decided to be my own hero
Not because I'm a good role model
or someone to look up too
But because it will just be so much easier
My decisions won't shock me
nor will my actions
When we worship people like
John Lennon
Or
Kurt Cobain
The drug use seems so tragic
and the gunshots leave us terrified
But if its just me I won't be taken aback
By how much I have changed
And no one will care about what I do
Cuts on my wrists wouldn't be front page news and my failures will be forgotten and ignored
But most of all I think that if its me
I won't find the drug use that tragic
And the gun shots won't be that terrifying
