"Oh, you are our hero!" they cry, "We love you!"
I look down at them all. I look at them bowing to me,
Hands extended upward to me. Their eyes rolling in a
Frenzy to just get a look at me, crawling, foaming at the mouth.
"Oh, you are our hero!" they cry, "We exalt you!"
Their fingers grasp at the air, trying to just catch a molecule
Around me. Stupid, mindless, animals they are.
"You!" they cry gloriously, "You! You!"
Me, me, me.
"Oh, you are our hero!" they cry, "We worship you!"
They are mine. Mine own. My own. Me own. Me, me, me.
I am their hero. These things, these disgusting creatures clawing at each
Other, trying, trying, trying to touch me, to behold me.
I am their hero.

I hate them all.
Everyone always thinks of heroes as these selfless people, and many times they are. But I wanted to express the disgusting side of things, knowing me.

It would be hard for heroes to not get a big head from all the publicity.

And some people are purely misanthropic.

Or maybe there's something else.

I really don't have much to say about this.

I can understand this. I mean, who is the hero for the hero, if you catch my drift? People sk a lot from the hero, and don't even think about the person, just what they get from him/her. It would be easy to become disillusioned and hateful, if not full of oneself.
