Heroes

What makes a hero?

I feel bad for the heroes, in all the storybooks
They are chosen, have a lot to sacrifice
I couldn't imagine the thoughts of such a noble one
Everyone relies on them, everyone hopes
One's self-doubt could kill the glory in one punch
Some are strong and dont fear death
Bullet-stopping chests and an eye for death defying adventures
I truly respect those courageous souls
But show me the weak, show me the scared
Bring to light those who are terrified
Its one thing to fight evil and be not afraid
But its another to fight and tremble with fear
Show me the ones who dread and quiver...
but battle anyways
That is a hero
