I'm teetering over the edge <br />Someone save me <br />I'm falling over the edge <br />Gotta do this on my own <br />No hero today <br />No knight in shining armor <br />Don't want no Hercules <br />I can save myself <br />I will rescue my soul <br />I will fall over this edge <br />And I will fly <br />Fly oh fly so far away <br />Don't need a Prince Charming <br />No Elven man of the furthest woodlands <br />I'll save myself today <br />And the next day and the next <br />Don't give me a War Hero <br />Don't show me any Marines <br />I won't beg for the Army <br />I won't scream for the Navy <br />I am stronger than you think I am <br />I am smart as I need to be <br />I am no maiden in distress <br />I will do as I please <br />So don't give me any heroes <br />Don't throw me before the Gods <br />I am what I need to be <br />I will be the one <br />Who will rescue me<br /><br />Janelle Morehart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-need-a-hero/
