The Hero

The hero wins,
The crowd cheers his success.
They wait for him at the finish line,
Applauding his every move.

The hero comes in second,
The crowd gives a smaller cheer.
They cheer him along the sidelines,
Not waiting for him at the end.

The hero makes third place,
The crowd no longer cheers.T
hey watch him from the stands,
No one notices when he finishes.

The hero comes in last,
There's no one left to cheer.
The crowd has long forgotten,
Moved on to someone new.
