Hero Request

I've gone from zero
To that of a hero
In the eyes of man
I only do what I can

I risked my life
For that of another
I ignored the strife
For my fellow brother

I look in the mirror
And what do I see
Staring back is a hero
Putting together the debris

I did what I should
Not for fame
Only for good
This isn't a game

I do what I must to sustain
But I countinue to refrain
I forever maintain
To keep this from my domain

I'm not here to entertain
I can't take the strain
I'm beginning to feel vain
As I enjoy my new reign

I saved a life once
But never again
I feel like a dunce
More now than then

I didn't want this sort of thing
This isn't who I really am
They all make me feel like a king
I am but a simple man

Please no more
I retire the cape
I'm closing the door
I must escape

If you need one
Become him
Fear what you might become
For it's a broken hymn

Can you handle the eyes?
The expecations?
You become symbolized
No negotiations
