The Unknown Hero
Sometimes doctors don't understand
Even then don't have a plan
Cross their fingers and hope for the best
When someone's life is put to the test
On the outside everything looks fine
As negative thoughts control the mind
Don't want to put the family to shame
Trying so hard to mask the pain
Its nothing serious they say
But the suffering doesn't go away
The war on depression has begun
Many battles have already been won
Never wanting to make a fuss
Much stronger than the rest of us
The champion that no one sees
Fights to conquer negativity
Yes heroes come and heroes go
Yet this one most don't even know
John Thomas Serpa
