"Refusal of the call" They don't deserve it you know Those heroes all. They whine "Why me!?" As if some horror has befallen them. I admit I resent them for it What do you mean? "Why me?" It's something you must embrace! You are the fortunate one you get to be special and unique and you have the nerve to throw it in my face?! "Why me?" If you don't want it, let it pass to me! ME! I say to me! Yes I'll gladly take your place and stoutly face the brass I'll be the chosen one I'll learn the ways I'll slay the beast and leave everything behind Such Opportunity! Yes! let it fall to me! But never does it happen and I get relegated to the "arrow in the knee" A wise lesson to the kid, dumb farmboy he And while he fails the test to accept the quest, it wasn't even offered to me. And while the hero hears wise words he fails to pay them heed and never know, I loathe him so for getting to do the deed. A damsel to be freed in her hour of dire need the man to take the lead to sink the mighty fleet while thinking on his feet. and indeed it might be greed but while I dream and plead for just a chance to bleed more heroes I will meet. Maybe one, one day, will see my gaze the longing in my face the fire bright, my eyes alight and heart ablaze and be humbled by the rage and as we part our ways when I set him on his path better do me proud, his fate embrace or else incur my wrath.
