Rodimus prime.. Now there you have a hero. He goes from being, effectively, a teenager, to the savoir of the universe. He takes out an entire planet-destroying monster voiced by f*****g Orson Welles. He does it and still doubts himself. He was chosen but didn’t earn it. Sure, Optimus prime was great, but he didn’t earn it either. He was just the greatest and the first. He did the right thing mostly. I try to do the right thing mostly. But Rodimus is real character with real growth and depth.
Heroes are tricky things. If you put too much faith in them they are assured to let you down. If you don’t put enough faith behind them they never achieve greatness.
The trick is how much you give to a hero.
I gave everything to my hero.
She let me down.
I love her still.
I hope to god she can still achieve greatness.
Even with her betrayal, for far less than Judas sold Jesus,
I love her still.
I miss her every night. All day, every day. I failed and the nothing consumed her.
Many days have passed, nearly 6 months, but not a day has gone by that I didn’t miss her.
We were lovers, and that was that.
We were lovers, and that was a fact.
Unfortunately, I didn’t rank high enough to keep.
I was expendable.
I was convenient.
I was lied too.
But I was a hero for just one day.
I love her still.
All systems go, friend or foe,
Strings are breaking but you can’t say no,
You’re running with the devil,
It’s touch and go,
But I have the touch, I have the power.
I can win if I dare.
