Unlikely hero
There is only so much one can take.
Only so much one can do
Before something breaks you.
You’re united and then divided you fall.
Being good made me strong.
You making me weak left me stronger
In the end.
It took time to take effect
But then it hit me.
You picked on my imperfections,
My skeletons in the closet
Just to cover your own problems.
We’re all unique but that don’t mean
We don’t feel the
Pain or the strain.
The pain,
The strain
It’s all heavy on my shoulders.
Now I’m bigger and better.
I feel lighter and brighter
And I feel confident enough now
To write this ode,
To my unlikely hero.
