Hero

somebody help me I

got stuck in my head

and my horizon is

the ledge of my bed

somebody take my arm

and pull me away

away from the thoughts of the things

that I can't change

I thought I need

to be a hero

I felt the heavens falling down

but now I see

I'm on a payroll

and that is all this is about

someone, please find me

I can't say where I am

somewhere between

education and ignorance

I haven't read the book

that explains everything

only the books that tell you backward

where to begin

I thought I need

to be wise

but wisdom is not enough

instead, I see

that all is lost

in the quarrel of the guns

who are these men

well-read and rich

I've never seen them on the streets

could it be

that they would see

a difference between

us and them

man indeed

a difference between

I thought I need to be a hero

I felt the heavens falling down
