Not a Hero
I keep them hidden from you all, my darkest of secrets
For if they were to be revealed, there'd be nothing but regrets
Until you learn what it's like to swim in the deep end
No more on those floaties will you be able to depend
You'll need to learn to dive and swim, or you'll never defend
Against darkness beneath the surface, you will drown if you pretend
No lifeguard is available, that would be a godsend
No one to protect you if you bow or break or bend
I'm busy with my own life, I don't have a hand to lend
I'm not coming to save you, I've my own troubles to mend

wow nice
you'll drown if you pretend now that line is heavy
i'm really not big in editing and stuff
but I think your last line needs a bit of mending
*i'm not coming to save you*

I wrote this one differently than any I've written before. I just wrote the last word of every line and then filled in every line afterwards. Thought it would be interesting.
