What Lies Beneath the Skin

by NyanWolf

Heroes are perfect, fearless, and always happy. That's what they're expected to be, so that's what they are, right? Wrong. But shows and story's never show the fear, guilt, and the pain that heroes suffer through. They never show, what lies beneath the skin.

5. What He Thought

Nova

He thought they didn't care.

That they thought he was a joke.

And as tears ran down his face.

The guilt made him choke.

If he was nicer maybe.

If he were not who he was.

And if not for every problem.

Was he the cause.

Then they would like him.

And they'd let him lead.

But how many years.

Might this change need.

That's what he thought.

Thought at first.

But when they showed him their love.

His heart almost burst.

They cared.

And in vain, he'd been sad.

For they cared so much more.

Than all else had.
