Maybe the hero

Maybe the hero is the one who doesn't go to the party.
Maybe the hero is the one who doesn't
Have to go out and be in the crowd.
And put in an appearance.
And make the usual statements and
Be part of the group and let their
Personality be subsumed.
Maybe the hero is the one
Who chooses to know himself.

Maybe the hero is the one who
Chooses to be alone.
Because he knows he will get things done.
And he knows the world maybe isn't ready
For his way of living. His acute self awareness.
Most people are afraid of themselves.
That's why they feel a need to belong.
That's why they feel a need to be accepted.

Maybe the hero is the one who doesn't belong.
Maybe the hero is the one who is misunderstood.
Maybe the hero is the one who loves to be alone.
Maybe the hero is the one who no one gives a shit about.
Maybe the hero is never going to be acknowledged.
Maybe the hero is the one who just knows:
Deep down inside they are on a path.

And no one has to be on it with them.
Doesn't mean they aren't on it.
Doesn't mean they are an outcast.
Maybe the hero is just freer than most.
Maybe the hero is just not concerned with appearances.
'They call us lonely, but we're really just alone.'
