Heroic Distortion

I thought he was glorious
and would renew my world
I thought he could be the one
to end the tyranny
I thought he was sincere 
in his intent
I thought he was Robin Hood,
that’s what he told me
I thought he spoke only the truth
-‘his words transcend the 10’
I learned that he had a past, 
but everyone deserves a second chance
I learned that sayings 
aren’t always accurate
I learned of his secret dealings-
how he lied to all
I learned that people don’t change in the shadows,
only in light
I learned disappointment,
the actuality of heros
