Hero

Throw yourself at me.

Impervious, I’ll remain the same.

My strength is not mine you see,

The source could not be more mundane.

I care not for what you say

Better yet, I care not for what I think.

A fool you stay making statues of clay,

Courageously dumb I let my ambitions sink.

The only thing I ask of you

Is to erase me from memory.

This world’s too ugly to be true,

Larger than life I refuse a eulogy.
