The Hero

Written by C Hues

Jack idolized his teacher
A writer who never lied
But each one of his books
Were really plagiarized
			
They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

Jane met her favorite player
She wanted to play Pro Golf
When asking for his autograph
The player said, “Fuck off”

They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

James had to be a singer
His favorite band he heard
Led him to their concert
Where lips did not match words
