the villain is death.
A loud cheer roared
and gets heard.
But the hero
was not smiling.
He went down
his noble steed,
beaten bruised but alive.
He couldn't reciprocate
to wave back
and reply to
the happy thoughts
of those he saved.
He knelt to everyone
and right there and then,
he apologized.
He denied the title
of hero and savior.
He did heroic things
but he also couldn't be
a hero to everyone.
He saved many agrieving souls
But not everyone were saved.
Out of all the victories
he achieved,
it is the things he couldn't do,
save and more
that overshadowed the supposed
joyous moment.
He won the battle.
The good triumphed over evil.
But the hero felt himself defeated.
He, in his own mind, is not a hero.
