It

I am not a hero
Because I cannot hold my ground
I am not a hero
Because I fall when I should stand
I am not a hero
Because my strength fails all the time
I am not a hero
Because I don’t want
To let you down

I am not a hero
Because I can’t fly
I am not a hero
Because I can’t answer why
I am not a hero
Because fire burns my smile
I am not a hero
Because like you
I also cry

I am not a hero
Because I’m not strong enough
And the sweet breath that I take
Is the only thing that makes me survive
And all I want to do is breathe
All I want is to be able to scream

I am not a hero
Because I’m feeling sick and I can’t stand
I can never take a stand and though
All I want to do is breath
I can’t live if I can’t breathe you in
You’re the air that I need

I cannot breathe this contaminated air
It’s this thing in me
Because only you take out the best in me
Because you’re the air I need to breathe
Because you’re the It that makes me be
You’re the one heroic thing in me.
