The Protector,
Protector of what?
An identity?
Ha, so what?

I didn't ask for this,
It was given to me,
But it is my duty,
Hell, I live for this.

But what do I protect?
My name, or your name?
My pride, or your pride?
I'll protect you all, but don't you dare bring shame to my name.

Was a school assignment...with any luck you'll realize the accountability is placed on the reader
