They say I am fearless.
They say I have overcome every trial and tribulation.
They say I look danger in the eye.
I say I am not fearless.
I say I have not overcome any trial or tribulation.
I say I cannot look danger in the eye.
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
I recoil under the pressure, the walls are closing in.
They come closer, retinas burning through my skin.
All I see are crimson, lifeless eyes as they stare at me.
All they see is me, collapsed and overwhelmed as can be.
Why? Why do they always stare at me?
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
I cry out "stop!" In a feeble little voice.
They do not listen.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"STOP!"
They do not listen.
They will never listen.
No one will ever listen.
Because I am the hero, nothing more.
Heroes are not supposed to be afraid.
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
Don't stare at me.
Don't look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
They stare at me.
They look at me.
But I am afraid.
