No superhero. Be your own hero

20170729_090310

Another day comes to an end,
There’s no more time, don’t just pretend.
You’re not all well, so do not wait
For someone else to walk in late.
What superhero do you need?
You’ll end up bleeding hard, indeed.

So just stand tall and trust yourself,
Forget the tears with which you’ve dealt.
Look at yourself: you’re strong enough!
It’s time you finished that rough draft.
You’re beautiful, you’re true, you’re you,
A superhero will not do.

You’ve got yourself, you will survive,
The little girl within will thrive.
You’re here to stay and you will fight,
And you’ll do it with such delight!
A hero who has known defeat,
Yet here you are—still on your feet.

My journey to finding myself began with music, continued with poetry and keeps going with these two blending harmoniously.
