I know I am not a main character.

Not more important than anyone else.

Not more innocent than anyone else.

Unique in my own way.

But nothing is cut and dry.

Life is more complicated than that.

***

I could be the one.

Overcoming all the trials put before me.

Overcoming what might break other people.

I could be the one to do it all.

Protected and rewarded for my effort.

But life is not so simple.

***

You can also be the one.

Loved beyond measure.

Loved for the beautiful tale you weave.

Guided through the most bleak field blind.

You could also be a hero.

Life is unpredictable like that.
