you hear those voices?

calling your name

saying that

you're such a shame

.

you hear the whispers?

behind your back

highlighting

all you lack

.

can you hear them?

tell me darling,

do they weigh you down?

tell me sweetie,

do you want to drown?

.

cause people like

me and you

people who have

been through

so much,

well sometimes,

sometimes we can't hear

the things we should

.

we can only hear

what we would-

have been, should have been;

all we hear is

what we could have been

never what we are

because we,

we aren't good enough.

never have been, never will be

.

sometimes you give up so much

to fight for

a world that hates you

.

sometimes you care

even when no one

dares

.

so maybe you can hear them

never stopped you before

but maybe you're hurting

been knocked to the floor

maybe you're useless

or not

maybe they've just left you

here to rot

.

it doesn't matter

.

you are a broken little hero

that everyone hates

you are a broken little hero

full of mistakes.

.

(you are always second place)

((but that's alright))

too bad, so sad, you're a hero no matter what they say
