If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison

The hopes of all,
rest heavily on your shoulders.
Hope you won’t fall,
deep to your elbows.
You’re listening to the angels,
but their not the right ones,
and everything you do
Seems to be everything done wrong.
Heroic times left us long ago
Now the times of uselessness grow.
So just pray you don’t fall,
deep to your elbows.

when a rising hero tries to do the best... no one can expect this hero to always be a savior
