601 A Hero With Some Defects...

A HERO WITH SOME DEFECTS

I got up late,

I made friends with ignorance-king,

I dined with darkness-prince,

I sang with imperfection-princess,

I danced with weakness-queen.

I must say,

These are all my little indulgences.

Yet

I am not what I was.

Alas,

I am now a hero with some defects.

Of course, these are all minor defects.
