Why Am I Here

I don't believe life is just happening

that we all happen to exist at the exact same moment

is this the time I was meant to be born in

it feels like I am stuck in one spot

never really asked for a part in this play

now if I don't perform right, I don't get to stay

when I go off script, I don't get to stay

follow the rules, is all they say

a hero is someone who doesn't ask to be

to us, they saved the day

but they don't even think about it

good is just what they expect themselves to be
