must i always battle heartbreak,
or living a life on my own?
i'm just as brave as they are,
though my courage seems much less well known

they're always given the dragons
and the sword fights on the plank of a ship
or late-night drag races through deserts
and big wars fought in cold mists

my fights are just as dramatic,
i've fought dragons and ogres and then...
but you ignore all my assets for simplicity
and so it is left to my pen

were i not myself i'd be legendary,
you'd know my bravest of hearts
you'd know all of my scars and their stories
and you would know of my life from its start

i'm not sorry i'm not like them,
i've done what i have because i'm me
so for know i guess i'll have to settle
for our same old backbench in history

one day  maybe you'll read them;
the stories of my battles and wars
and maybe then you'll apologise-
we all know my life was much greater than yours
