I guess it's all about passion, that's were this starts. It may also be where it ends, though I don't know that for certain. I can only hope.
You see, I've grown accustomed to the mentality people have towards me, once they know more than just my name. That very mentality, that just because of my lack of ability in one area, marks me as useless. Marks me as something beneath human, maybe even beneath everything else as well. I am not worth the breath that I breathe, or the space that my body takes up. These words that I hear over the course of my days, I wish could leave my head just as quickly as they enter my ear.
My peers are volatile with their words, their phrases and expressions jarring to a child. Though I cannot fault them, because they too are just children. They were brought up in this faulty society, just like I was. Adoring those with power, just because others have also put them up on a pedestal. Conditioning us from the time that we could speak, that those with the title Hero, are infallible. Gods among men.
And not all men are created equal.
I had learned this by the age of three. Just as I had also learned that not all gods are faultless.
Passion is a tricky thing. If you look it up, the very first definition you will see, is that passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. Though not concerning in and of itself, can be in the right context.
Villains don't just become villains for the sake of it. The same as anyone else, passion is what drives them. Whether that passion is for love, money, revenge. It's all the same. The only difference between us from them, being how we control it.
In today's society, it hardly seems like there is a distinction. Not when the sole reason I'm writing this note, standing on this ledge about to jump, is out there training to become someone who is suppose to have sworn to protect people like me.
I can only hope that this hastily written note can reach someone stronger than me. Someone who will see my death for what it is, a passionate cry for change. Though not for me, obviously, but for those who are also getting to the end of their rope.
I can only hope.
