What is a hero? Is it something you’re born with or something you die as? Or perhaps something in-between? Something you have to choose for yourself? An act of bravery when you could despair An act of curiosity when you could turn away An act of sacrifice when nothing else matters But to be the one who saves instead of being safe. A hero is someone. And everyone can be heroic

You know who you are
What is a hero? Is it something you’re born with or something you die as? Or perhaps something in-between? Something you have to choose for yourself? An act of bravery when you could despair An act of curiosity when you could turn away An act of sacrifice when nothing else matters But to be the one who saves instead of being safe. A hero is someone. And everyone can be heroic
