☆ The hero of a collapsing city ☆

You ask me why I stopped trying to save the city

I used to be the hero

You told me I was destined to be

Fighting burglars and thieves

Saving pretty people from beautiful tragedies

But living for others never sat me free

I thought escaping through intoxication was the key

To deal with the uncomfortable uncertainty

But it made me feel even more incomplete

In the same way I felt when you looked at me

Like I was your god

Your savior

As you got down on your knees

Prayed and pleaded “save me please”

All your problems weighed on my sturdy shoulders

Your happiness became my responsibility

But my own contentment was never a guarantee

Though you made me feel special

You made me feel seen

By telling me I was the only one with the capability

Of keeping the skyscrapers and city landscapes from collapsing

But it was all too much

And one person can not bear such

You created your own city and your own problems

and thought it was funny to shove them over to me

Whats funny is you could not take away my ability 

To see

That in the end

All I had to do was flee
