I am a hero
I am an actor
I'm this violent shade of blue

I am newly discovered tension
Still confused by yesterday


I am a hero
On a mission
Staking claims

Yielding none

I am an artist

With a vision
Seeing hell, his destiny


I know the simple sting of a tear
Sends the star crashing to earth


Dying in a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same


I am an actor
So unfeeling

Then a flower
I am crushed


I am a villain
Unstable and anguished
Then an angel, you trust


The heartless echo of memory
Sends the actor whirling twirling

Falling to his knees

Dying in a moment of splendor

For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same
I am a bubble

Almost to bursting
Swollen by unrelinquishing pride


I am the shrinking
Remains of potential
Never growing as I should
