What is a hero?

What is a hero?

Any child would say the "good guy".

And maybe these children have it easy.

Not taking anything into careful conideration,

Only saying what they think they know, not caring if it's wrong.

If you were to ask anyone over the age of 18,

They'd probably say:

"A hero is someone who does good.

A hero never cheats,

A hero puts others before himself,

And a hero never lies."

Well, if you were to call me a hero, would you be accurate?

A hero never lies.

Yet, I am living a lie.

Caught between two lives, two faces, two minds.

Two everything.

Inside, I'm just a kid.

A teenage kid, hiding behind a mask.

Just so you won't see who I am.

I'm living a lie...

And yet, I'm still a hero.
