Hero To Be

Will you help me, I’m searching for stability

Can’t keep riding this rollercoaster for the rest of eternity

Been thrown onto this ride with a head full of uncertainty

Through the sharp turn, the ups, and the downs I must find an identity

All my struggles and success’s gathered knowledge but came up empty

I’m on rails no matter how hard I fight the road controls me

Pull me off the rails make this ride end abruptly

I’ll gladly lie on the side lines and watch my former insanity

Round and round covering the same thing for infinity

 

“Hello what’s your name, thank you for saving me

Why did you do it, help me and risk all that is free

You could’ve joined me unintentionally

So grateful for your selfless act of bravery

I must ask why, not out of fear of dishonesty

Your intentions where honorable surely

I must know to satisfy my curiosity”

 

Stupefied she answered that I was the hero to be

She told me that one day I would open my eyes and see

My eyes feel open she doesn’t know what I’ve seen obviously

She’s to happy and stable she’d never comprehend my story

She smiled and said “I cannot imagine such treachery

But one day you will see that place as heavenly”

Almost enraged but I was to intrigued to be angry

She doesn’t know how I once hurt so deeply

 

Her presence was enough to fill the emptiness in me

Her compassion made me shine ever so brightly

I loved her far past my gratitude, yet I felt I was hers to carry

She still maintained I was the hero that I was just not ready

I feared she was just trying to stop me from feeling guilty

Though having her to care so much made me lucky

I didn’t want her to keep acting so modestly

I tell her she need not hide the true reality

I know she was the reason I was now acting so strongly

Once again uninfluenced she said to me in a tone so genuinely

“My love, stick to your opinion but we all have our theory”

 

I now live a life so wonderfully steady

Nothing to tell me otherwise, I’m always happy

I never get knocked down, not even rarely

She took the clouds from the sky now it’s always sunny

But there is an emptiness hiding underneath the glory

On top of the world I feel like I’m unworthy

Without the downs the highs feel so empty

I finally see how I was living life so blindly

I must return to my ride that was my insanity

I can’t bring her she’s such a joyful lady

I show her my first tears and tell her I’m leaving with my heart heavy

She smiles at my teary eyes she had foreseen this destiny

“Now you know how it feels, to be without adversity

Will you be my hero and ride the rollercoaster with me”
