What is it like to be a hero?
Will you be loved?
Is it exciting?
Is it scary?
Is it dangerous?
Or is it all of the above?
How must one person be a hero?
Do you have to be strong?
Do you have to be smart?
Do you have to be brave?
Or is it all of the above?
Why do I wish to be a hero?
Is it because I want people to look up to me?
Is it because I want power?
Is it because I want to save the world?
Or is it all of the above?
Do I have to be strong?
Do I have to be smart?
Do I have to be brave?
Because I am none of the above.
