• Fallen Hero


    I used to have a hero. I idolized him, and was so proud that he was my older brother. He had been intelligent, happy, and a total sweetheart.

    But, he turned into someone that should never be idolized. His heart turned to stone, while his happiness and intelligence turned into idiocy. He broke his wife's heart, leaving an unknowing child behind.

    He found someone else who he thought was a friend, but all he really left behind was the people who truely loved him. My fallen hero is still alive, but, he has stabbed others, which loved him, in the heart with his stupidity.

    When my fallen hero finally realizes what he has done, my idolization will have already gone. Even now as I am writing this, my idolization is slowly withering away. And, even though no one will probably ever read this, not many people can begin to understand how exactly my hero fell.

    Surely if my fallen hero ever reads this, my feelings pouring out on this page, he will feel some remorse over his actions! Surely! ...Maybe.... And, now as I write this, feelings of hate, love, betrayal, hurt, and sadness all hit me like a brick wall, and, the pain makes it nearly impossible to think of these dreadful words.

    No one can really know how I feel about my fallen hero, although his wife probably feels worse sorrow than I, because they cannot even begin to know how or why I feel this way.

    If my fallen hero ever reads this, I hope he knows how many people he hurt with his actions. And, I hope he understands why this is being written. I also want him to know that a hero is someone a person can trust not to hurt their loved ones; someone who is strong, passioniate, and loving; someone who if you tell them that they are your hero, they don't crush your dreams and happiness that they are your older brother and hero.

    My fallen hero needs to know that those who sleep around once, will do it with someone else. And, that a marriage is a vow before God that you will protect the other person, will always love them, and will never put anyone else before them. He broke those vows and he now must suffer the consequences. Also, he will get what is coming to him in the end, for, karma is always in play.

    I want my fallen hero to know that once you lose my trust, it is nearly impossible to gain it back. And, he should know that: never again will he be my hero. My fallen hero fell after he lied and cheated to get the things that he wanted. No one can ever turely be happy, so I want him to know that he will not be the happiest that he can be with his family, his REAL family, and not someone who would try to wreck your life to get what she wants.

    My fallen hero must suffer the consquences of his actions, and if that means not talking to him after telling him this, then so be it. I hope that my point will come across if he actually reads this.

    The last thing I want to say to my fallen hero is: thank you for letting me know, after three years of telling people that you were my hero, that you were only just another person wearing a mask that made you seem better than you acually were.

    Johnathan Raymond Flowers, you are my fallen hero. Not only did you ruin your life, but, you showed me that there is no such thing as a hero. And, for that last part I thank you, because I will never be fooled or hurt that way again.
