I never thought of myself as a hero
I never thought of myself as strong
I never thought of myself as beautiful
I never thought of myself as good
I thought I was the villain
I thought I was weak
I thought I was ghastly
I thought I was evil
I mean that’s what you said
I mean that’s what you told me
I mean that’s what you yelled
I mean that’s what you wrote
I never thought I would be the hero
I never thought I would be strong
I never thought I would be beautiful
I never thought I would be good
I am not the villain
I am not the weak
I am not the ghastly
I am not the evil
I mean that’s what I say
I mean that what I tell myself
I mean that’s what I yell
I mean that’s what I’m writing
I am the hero
I am strong
I am beautiful
I am good
I am the hero
Because
I was strong enough to leave you
I was beautiful and confident to leave you
I was good and not evil like you to leave you
I became my hero when I left you
