Not All Actions Have Hero's


No more need 
to think but 
feel 
The suffering
that my hero felt 
The hero with no mask 
The one who asked nothing 

Yet spoke envy 

Envy of the light 
that never stayed 
As it swayed upside down 
Matching the steps of pain 
Emerging with the cries of help 
Dissolving with the masses 
Awaiting the new mask
