Hero’s Turmoil
How many more times will you force me to pick up this sword. How many more times will I slay your monsters. How many more times do I have to be a hero. What will make this end. When can I finally just be a husband and father. My sword is already at your neck. Are you going to force me to cut through it. Will that satisfy you. You expect more of me than they do. The people call me a hero, but you truly believe it. This ending may satisfy you, but it will only leave me empty.
