Short Stories and Poems

Heroes

Every story

Has a hero;

Brave;

Beautiful;

Strong.

Every story

Has a villain;

Evil;

Broken;

Longing.

Every hero

Has an insecurity;

A weakness;

A fault;

Something to exploit.

Every villain

Makes a mistake;

Screws up;

Gets beaten;

Loses.

Every hero

Falls in love;

And wins

The one they want,

Before the story is over.

Every villain

Wants to feel;

Wants love,

Or someone

Who cares.

Every hero

Feels righteous;

Knows that,

What ever they do,

They will always be Good.

Every villain

Feels attacked;

They feel like,

No matter what,

They will always be Evil.

Every hero

Screams;

Every villain, too.

The only difference

Is that

When a hero screams,

People listen.
