Be Your Own Hero
Not all heros come in capes,
not the most influential ones anyways.
the ones who feed us,
nurture us,
shelter us,
shower us with unconditional love.
those are the real heros
one day you reach a point
the ones we’ve looked up to our whole life
aren’t the ones we look up to anymore
we get older, our views change
we realize we strive to be better,
better than what we thought our heros were
and maybe that's just it.
maybe it’s meant to be this way
it’s heart breaking thinking
that what we’ve looked up to our whole life
are just regular people trying to find a hero within themselves.
