Lost Memories

Im not the hero

Bloodied. Bruised. Beaten. It can only describe a little under half of a percent of what happened here.

The only ones who can tell the stories are them.
But they can only tell half.
The other side holds the other half of this coin.

The history book shares the side that was on heads.
The books disregard tails.
They both had a reason.
They both had a vision.

I did not save you from that cruel world, they did.
I did not tell you what to say, they did.
I didn't do anything but be here.

The world will not remember what we said here.
But will never forget what they did here.

Just remember that even though people don't show their gratitude.
At least you did.
You might think that I'm just a deranged lunatic talking to you.
But I see you.

I see where you go all the time.
I see that you worship me.
I'm a veteran after all.
I was treated like a savior.

But I will tell you this and this only!

I'm not the hero,
The dead are,
All of them.
