In every story there is a hero.
Someone we can all look up to, someone who can make things all okay.
Nothing is more terrifying then being the hero in your own story over and over again.
You look around to see if anyone will save you, hoping someone will take your hand and free you from this mess.
But time and time again, you must save yourself.
You must prove yourself to the adversaries around you.
You must pick yourself up and climb that ledge again.
Time, after time.
After awhile, you come to know only yourself.
You come to depend only on yourself.
When the hands come reaching forth, you are unsure if it is to help or hinder.
Will the hand strike you? Or is it offering assistance?
Without fail, it seems they only want to strike you.
So whenever the hand reached forth, saviour or not, you snap at it before it has the chance to hurt you.
People around you think you are jaded.
Selfish.
Mean.
Cruel.
Now, in all instances you are left to be considered the villain in everyone else’s story.
When all this time,
You were just being your own hero.
