Heroes
Wear a mask
Hiding their true identity
Protecting their friends and family
And themselves
Put on a cape
To find the strength
Get knocked down a hundred times
Standing up 101 times
Hiding their greatest fears
Even heroes know when to be scared
Constantly fighting the good fight
Cut them and they will bleed
Far from bulletproof
Hiding the scars from their inner battles
Wounds from the war
Haunted by the ghosts of the victims they were unable to save
Knees always buckling
From carrying the world on their shoulders
Saving the day after day, night and night
It's okay for heroes to cry
Villains walking around in real life
Most dangerous ones exist in our mind
Disguised as self doubt
Manifested in nightmares
Feeding on insecurities
Love is needed to survive
As much as oxygen and water
Superpowers coming from the soul
And deep within the heart
All heroes are human....
