My hero
It's hard to answer the question,
 
 
 
 
  "What's wrong?"
 
 
 
 
 When nothing is right.
 
 
 
 
 Maybe,
 
 
 
 
 I am tired of trying,
 
 
 
 
 Sick of crying,
 
 
 
 
 I know I've been smiling,
 
 
 
 
 But on the inside
 
 
 
 
 I think I'm dying.
 
 
 
 
 It’s weird,
 
 
 
 
 How everybody's searching for a hero.
 
 
 
 
 People need someone to look up to.
 
 
 
 
 I never found anyone who fulfilled my need.
 
 
 
 
 A very lonely place to be,
 
 
 
 
 One could say.
 
 
 
 
 So I learned to depend on me.
 
 
 
 
 Everyone sees who I appear to be.
 
 
 
 
 But only a few know the real me,
 
 
 
 
 You only see what I choose to show.
 
 
 
 
 There's so much behind my smile,
 
 
 
 
 That you just don't know.
 
 
 
 
 But that’s alright.
 
 
 
 
 Because I don’t need a hero like you.
 
 
 
 
 I am my own hero.
 
 
 
 
 Me, myself, and I.
