Not the infallible hero
My shoulders finally giving under the pressure
Heart heavy and leaden, thick with desires
Not the desires I like to treasure
No longer to please, protect and save
But to leave, my own life to nurture
Not the undefeatable champion
Soul finally broken by meaningless war
Sword heavy and blunted, thick with blood
The blood of injuries I had to score
If only to please, protect and save
Against me, my own life my victim
Not the indefatigable saviour
Mind now weary of the endless frustration
Thoughts heavy and leaden, thick with desires
Desires that raise expectations
Of a life to grow, in meaning and value
That today, I'd accept without hesitation
