I'm Supposed To Be The Hero

Published on April 30, 2006 By pseudosoldier In Life

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"

- William Shakespeare

But why must I have a bit part?

I'm supposed to be the hero, or at least attain Protagonist status. I'm not meant to meander through life wondering at others.

But when I do assert myself, when I try to tell my own tale, do I find myself even a likeable character? or one to be held in contempt?

Bumbling at decisions. Stabbing at what I think is right in the hopes of catching it on the tip of my blade.

I even get to literally ride off into the sunset alone, after facing one of my deepest fears. And the best I can do is wonder what sort of music I should listen to on the way.

I will stand tall, as best I can. I know this. I strive to overcome my own cowardice.

I'm supposed to be the hero."

Dude, you ARE the hero. You may not be the hero in one particlar play, but in another....it's all about you.

You forget that whilst you are wondering at others, still more people are wondering at YOU.
