How can you be my hero?

You taught me to love everyone equally
You hate so many for being themselves

You inspired me to stand up for myself
You told me to me back down

You showed kindness, compassion, and mercy
You became angry at me for flinching when you screamed

You raised me with love and care

You taught me to be ashamed of who I am

You love me for being your child

You hate me for being one of them

You will always be my hero
I will always be afraid of you
