Today I'm Afraid

Today I am afraid 
For today my life 
Lies in the hands of people 
Who see me as a monster 
A destroyer 

Today I am afraid 
For the day I finally can stand 
My legs will be broken 
By people 
Stronger and more powerful than me 

And in a week 
My life will lie in the hands 
Of the people 
Who hate me 
Just to spread 
The hate in their hearts

    Dear Mr. Hero 
    Have you won the last war? 
    Oh Mr. Hero 
    Have you caught him before?

    He isn’t a sinner 
    But he’ll contemplate 
    Doing something a good man 
    Won’t do
    How about you?
