HERO

Looking through these past years,
Past successes, failures,
One thing comes to mind,
Why do we always search outside ourselves,
For our Hero?

Someone we have either never met
Or have met but can't get close enough to,
To save us from our situations,
Ourselves,
Us.

Yet, deep inside,
That Hero, is there,
Sitting quietly,waiting
To be summoned, acknowledged, trusted
With this task we would rather hand over to a stranger,
An idealised Hero.

You are your own Hero.
I am my own Hero.

And imagine, the possibilities we all have,
Realising the Hero that lives within,
If we all just rescued ourselves,
Imagine how,
We can rescue those that have lost trust and faith
In their inner Hero.
