Heroes

Real heroes aren’t fearless,
They’re brave enough to face their fears,
And the real ones aren’t emotionless,
They are the ones who shed tears.
Real heroes don’t have crowds around them,
They are usually the most ignored,
And they’re the ones who've been heartbroken the most,
Not the ones that are the most adored.
Real heroes aren’t the ones that move the mountains,
They’re the ones who struggle to climb them,
And the real ones don’t defeat enemies,
They’re the ones that forgive them.
Real heroes aren’t bulletproof,
They get bruises and scrapes,
And the real heroes wear their scars,
Not all heroes wear capes.
