I am not an unsung hero, but sometimes I wish I was.
A hero is someone who will put other's lives
Before theirs.
Not just those closest to them
Whom they can barely stand
Heroes are never
Forced to decide who lives
And who dies.
A true hero can save them all
In truth
I can save no one
A hero doesn't need a badge
To obligate them to rescue.
I barely have a badge at all.
Just one bought for me
A badge that has never
Forced me to do the
Right thing
Heroes don't feel guilt
At needing eyes
They just help
No reason for them
To feel guilty at all.
A hero can take
Pride in being
Called a hero
A title I don't deserve
At all.
No matter whom I save
Or how many
It's all for an ulterior purpose.
I'd turn on them in a
Moment.
I'd be forced to
Obligated to.
So remember this
Claire Danvers
No matter what I do for you
Do not trust me
I beg you not to
Do all you can
To protect your clan
But never involve me in anything
Where I'd be forced to choose
For I'd choose wrong
I always choose wrong
I am no hero
Richard Morrell
Is no hero
Remember that
It may very well
Save your life one day
You can trust me
On that one
At least
Hopefully
Because I have no
Hero's promise.
