Who Saves the Hero
Who saves the hero when
the hero needs to be saved
Who’s the one that will
cape for him once he is
weak from caping for others
weary from the lean of
everyone else’s weight
Who’ll be savior
to this savior when he is
too tired to keep saving
No one wants to lead him
from his demise
No one to accompany him
in his corner
No one to understand that
super heroes also need to
be rescued
reassured
Where are the shoulders
that will bear his weight
or will they continue to
wait to rest on his
Nobody is willing to help
polish the “S” on his chest
when the armor of his
spirit is dull
his shine no longer
a beacon of light
His tarnished soul
and bruised ego are
no one’s concern
but his own
Tell me
Who saves the hero
when the hero needs to be saved
