Hero or Villian


The way I see it I have two choices.
Be the hero I desperately want to become.
Or give in to the worlds peer pressure and events becoming a villain.
 Should I stop trying to save a world that isn't appreciative of being saved.
Or do I just sit back and watch the world burn.
Laughing in the ashes.
Smiling during the carnage.
Not lifting a single finger to help.
Screams of help would fall on ears that stopped caring.
Hero or villain what will it be.

Villains rule the world.
Heroes are our silent protectors. 
Rarely recognized how they should be.
They save who they save and disappear.
Villains outnumber the heroes.
A very dangerous unbalance.
The selfish, self centered, non caring are the ones who succeed.
The selfless, caring, all around good guys never stop fighting.
Fighting the fight that seems to have no end.
And sadly no victory in sight for the good guys.
Hero or villain what will it be.

Sometimes the events of life push further and further to the dark side.
Where giving into your demons and dimming your inner light seem to be the only way.
The place where all smiles are behind a shade of hate.
An inner victory you have stolen from another.
Heroes never compromise who they are.
When they see that light starting to dim the find a way to make it brighter than the other day.
That is the hero way.
Hero or villain what will it be.

Tainted victory.
Fake feelings.
Never ending battle which one will lose in the end.
Genuine happiness.
Money, power, greed.
A place at the top of the mountain.
Respect, love, acceptance.
Helping others climb.
Hero or villain what will it be.

I know which one it will be.....
