Playing the Hero

Playing the Hero

A Poem by I Am Svetlana
"

Who needs a hero when we all must save ourselves?

"

As each day comes and goes,

I am at a loss.

Having jumped off a building.

Instead, I was free falling

To the pavement below.

On the ouside,

I put on a smile.

No one had such a clue

To how truly lost I was.

I figured,

Who needs a hero

When we all must save ourselves?

But would I have the courage,

The strength to save myself this time?

We never think we have the courage and strength until VOILA, it appears.
Excellent, thought provoking piece.
