Beautiful Darkness

Doomed

They said I was their hero

I was their puppet, their tool

The savior with an expiration date

But I didn't notice the strings

Until the moment they snapped

They said I was their hero

I was cursed, they said

I was doomed, they said

Yet, they never truly said

All the reasons why

I was cursed, yes

I found that to be true

But it was not me

Who was doomed

But, instead, the puppeteers
