When a Hero fails

written by: Daniel91

All of Peter's life he wanted to be a hero like superman
So Peter would always stick to God's glorious plan
Peter never question it until the day he had failed
He failed him but they don't care as long as he's in jail

They say a job well done
We couldn't had did it without you son
Peter had put the one faced monster away
But something more horrible still is out to play

The monster is someone who pulls people's strings
They see him as someone with angel wings
He's someone who makes people care
Because if they were hurt caring for him then it would be fair

All his life has been one let down after another
He was never truly loved not even by his own mother
Peter wonder how could he let himself become this
He wonders what he could have gone over or missed

Peter remembers tae day Mr. L came to visit him as a little boy
He said he could have it all or make everything fall like troy
He could have his kingdom and do whatever please his will
Peter thinks that something here doesn't fit the bill

He could be love by any woman he desired
All this deal needed was for his soul to be acquired
Peter thought about this long and very hard
But he decided this wasn't in his cards

So He told Mr. L to go back to hell and leave him alone
Mr. L said you say have misery that has been unknown
You will destroy everything you will ever touch
Because you will end up loving it too much

Peter thought all about this but he was just a little boy
Who had took on the devil himself and all of his ploys
Devil turned out to be oh so very right
As Peter is alone every single cold night

Peter wonders where is God in all of this
As he slips into the black abyss
Maybe this is how he became so foul
He falls to his kness and howls

He wonders if he's even worth saving
Our hero knows seeing God isnt believing
Peter knows God saved him once but he can't again
It's up to him to save himself with more than an amen

So he gets up off of his knees
He's finally ready for everything to seize
He sees Mr. L in the distance
Peter is ready to lead the resistance

If only I could be Peter
I'm Going for a TS Elliot feel here
