No one wants to die a hero
When they can live a nobody
They sacrifice you
make you a saint
tell your story to the children
who can’t escape
They make you a hero
by taking your life
ending your reign
of being and choice
It’ll never happen again
they say
as they tear down your image
and lay waste to your home
Be a nobody
a life well lived
out of the spotlight
of bigots and fiends
Because a nobody to them
is a somebody to us.
