When far enough becomes
Too far
When a hero becomes
Society's whipping boy
Well watch out
Fate already called dibs
Pushed from the moment of birth
Never knowing just what
A true statement is
Betrayed so intimately
The pain doesn't even register
Until the adrenalin calms
Then rages so deeply
Even the sadness is dulled
When does far become too far
When is enough too much
Just pushing
And pushing
It's never letting go
It's holding on by the skin of your teeth
It's buckling down and realizing that enough is far too much
That far is far enough
Fate's whipping boy is cursed
Cursed to live
Cursed to remember
And fate herself laughs
Because heroes aren't always praised
And the road to hell is paved
With good intentions.
