Anti-Heroes

We could have had everything.
Under the lights in that moment
The world was ours.
All it needs is a hero and
We both think we have what it takes.
But proving it would be too predictable
And so we sit because that is what
Our favorite main characters would do.
We prefer to watch as the secondary figures
Walk by on their way to the rest of their lives
As we smoke each others’ cigarettes and
Wonder what the best way would be
To make sure that this whole scene
Falls apart according to plan.
Of course, we do not think we are
Bad people because of this.
Just because something isn’t the truth
Doesn’t mean it’s a lie.
And we know of no reason
Having what it takes
Means we should try.
