but understanding is the hard part.

Why are you unhappy,

Heroes have a hard time.
We ask so much of them
...

I need answers!
Perfect answers!
Free of loopholes,
free of flaws.

Who will put your case
sad little heart?
Who will be your advocate
when you cry?

Hopes and fears and feelings
and dreams that made me whole.
