Everyday Hero: Strength In Silence

At the crack of dawn, the break of light I stand awaiting the upcoming fight My pain concealed, my fears unknown, Giving hope in darkness, the skill that I've honed. An Atlas bearing world's weight, Yet, with a gracious smile I accept my fate For each faltering soul, I bear the pain, Behind these broad shoulders, I feel the strain. Each day I march forward, undeterred by fright, With arms wide open, embracing the fight. "I am here," I proclaim to the lonely sky, Unfazed by fate's gaze and ever watchful eye. If here I falter, it will be clear, That I was no hero, not the man I revere. Yet, in my journey, truth unfolds, Not all heroes are as the story's told. It's the will to stand in the face of plight, That makes a hero, in the harshest night. So, I don my unseen cape, grand and bright, Carrying the world on my back with all my might. In the face of pain, a smile ear to ear, Because I am David, "The man with no fear!"
