If the hero is the one
that always gets the girl
and never really has to sweat
knowing that he\u2019ll end up winning
what does that make me?
Given all the times I\u2019ve failed
stuck on the outside empty-handed
what role am I really playing?
Am I not the star
of my own perspective?
Am I just the recurring villain
in someone else\u2019s story?
Why do I keep trying
when everyone that gets to know me
runs away when they start to see too much?
What lessons, what moral
is this tale supposed to teach?
What\u2019s the object here?
All I\u2019m getting out of this
is it\u2019s better not to try
and that can\u2019t be what I\u2019m meant to learn
\u2026can it?<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
