Anxiety
screaming
permeating from my mind
fear
In the after math of seeing her there
He beat her
You should've seen it!
No
You shouldn't have seen it
Because I felt like I had to do something
And I didn't do anything
Not because of what I should have been feeling
That heroism infection?
Duty?
But out of fear of rejection
I felt like committing verbal suicide
But then it went away and I just watched him take away her pride
And now I wanted to take away her painI
wanted to do something
Anything
Anyone else would have done something right?
Someone should have done something, right?
Anything
From a fight to a slight pat
The tv ad told me to stop him from doing that
I even watched her beaten to an inch of her life
In this movie I saw a week ago
And now
He was beating her in the front of a pickup truck
After they'd prepared to go
I had to do something
I was going to do something
But I didn't do anything
Accept turn my head
Ofcourse there were reasons
Other than the obvious
"normally these things don't turn out right
She makes accusations
He accuses
She accuses..."
Neither accusations are made on each other
Because sometimes
Her love is young...or old
And both have outgrown heroes
And can only see toads
And you'd rather be a hero than a villain
Right?
Then again
Just like love
Real-life heroes are contrary to their popular twins
And don't think of all the shit I just said to begin
Either they don't think
Or ignore it
And in the end
Watching a woman being beaten taught me something
Real-life villains just want to be heroes
And heroes in real-life are idiots
