Chapter 9 - Masks
You're the hero
You're the guy
everyone will be cheering for
when this is all over
You're just the
sidekick - and you know it
You're the annoying ADHD weirdo
Who just can't take anything seriously
You get all the glory
at the end anyway
You think it's
ALL ABOUT YOU
And in this world, sadly
It is.
You just
don't understand
You think it's all about
the fame, the glory -
(okay, that is a part of it, but still)
You've never been under
so much
P*R*E*S*S*U*R*E
You always get the girl
You're basically the
perfect Disney hero
everyone loves that - don't they?
Your life is like
a stupid fairytale.
You think it's all
fun and games
Wake up.
Life isn't all about
the jokes
You don't have to put in the hard work
You just get the
sweet rewards.
You're so
B*I*G*H*E*A*D*E*D
So sure
And you take all
the credit
claiming yourself to big and brave
You know what?
Your facade is
F
A
L

N
G
apart.
You think everyone is so
easygoing
You don't see the
pain
misery
sorrow
You act like you don't have
a care in the world
Well guess what?
We do.
I don't know how we ended up to be "friends"
If I chose my friends, you wouldn't be one of them
So I just keep on
a mask of friendship
Because you're an arrogant liar
Because you're an annoying fool
Because - oh yeah -
You're Jason Grace.
You're Leo Valdez.
