Stick to Your Guns

Are you a hero, or a villain? Now you may immediately feel responsible and think, "well, I'm a hero of course.." and I know those of you who would select villain. I'm not talking abouyt a comic book fantasy here. I'm not talking NBC's hit dramatic fantasy. I'm talking about in real life.
Are you the one who can stare a loved one in the face and say "no", "I'm not doing that", or "go by yourself, I'm staying home", or "I'm going to hang with my friends Thursday night, let's do dinner afterward"?
I only ask because I find it so difficult to face someone you love, or care for and to do what I have to do.
Are you a hero who makes all the right choices in the eyes of your loved ones and friends? Or, are you the villain who does what ever it is that is right for you when ever you need to? Now, all the smart people will respond by saying, "well, it's a balance of both really. You have to do what is right for you, and make sure the other people in your life are taken care of."
What do you feel when you do what is right for you, and what do you feel when you give in, every single time because you don't want to be disliked, or unloved, or the villain.
I think I've been trying to be a hero for far too long. It's a lot of heart ache, and tension.
The villains always have more fun, and are more interesting too. Don't most women love the "bad boy". The hero gets boring Lois Lane. Ugh! Peter Parker got Mary Jane, but we all know that's b.s.! That ain't happenin' in real life (The Spider thing, that could definitely happen).
Can you look in the mirror and define what it is you are? Without comparison? Without ego, or id? when do you take a moral note to see who looks back in the reflection?
Maybe it's time to see what it is like to not be the hero all of the time. Not necessarily being a bad guy/ or girl. Perhaps thinking a little outta the box. More into me.....

Hmmmm.

Hey, Wanna know where I got these scars from?

Dude, first off... Lois Lane is hot and well kicks ass.

Mary Jane Watson became a super model and let's not forget Gwen Stacy was no chopped liver.

That said..., I say be a tragic hero! Villains have more fun b/c they're usually sociopathic. Or simply self-centered and so are unfettered with the need to think about others.

You can be a hero whose partnered with a sociopath or a self centered person. Which if you are, it will never matter how much you do, say or feel... it'll never be enough.

To thine own self be true.

Rock out with your cock out.

I think you know where my hat hangs. [Hint, it's a black hat.]
