Don't be a Hero MAG
February 25, 2013
Don't be a hero,
a human is so much better
Delightfully decrepit,
a little ugly
Inhale its imperfection
Rejoice in beauty marks,
they hold true beauty
Always
hungry for something
dripping with desire
ringing with repulsion
exquisitely ephemeral
contorted by the aching
yearning
to be a hero
Don't be a hero
