Running, Running, Running.

"It must be nice to live life so easily like you can." They keep chasing me, my legs hurt. I can't breathe.

Hiding, Hiding, Hiding.

"That's so cool that everybody knows you!" I can't hide, they always find me.

Asking, Asking, Asking.

"How do you do that? Where you born that way? Who exactly are you?" I don't know anymore.

Hurting, Hurting, Hurting.

"You Freak! Monster! You're scaring my family! Get out of here!" I'm sorry.

Loving, Loving, Loving.

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry.

"What makes one a 'hero'?" Well.. "I think it's someone who can face emotions like hate, fear, rejection, sadness, and tragedy, and embrace them with a true smile. They share the goodness of their hearts and teach those who's dreams have lost their way the right path to take. When they do not become angry because they failed to teach, but instead driven to keep trying, then are they considered to be 'strong'. That's what makes a heroic person." ...You are absolutely right.
