What is a hero without a villain?

Notes:

So like I posted this because I was reminded of this from an ao3 buddy of mine nobody_needs2know, check them out their awesome.

I grip my blade with two hands,
My knuckles going white,
And bring down the evil,
In one fell swoop.

I did it, I slayed the villain.
What now?
I did what I had to do,
What I was meant to do.

But now my purpose is gone,
Beheaded.
I am the hero, but
What do heroes do?
What do I do?

Boredom consumes me,
Plagues my very soul.
Now I idly wonder,
Should I try being a villain?

I am the villain,
I am evil, and now,
I’m about to be beheaded.
I wonder, will whomever that slays me,
Face the same fate?
And continue the cycle.
All over again?
