Heroes~

This is for all of you heroes out there..

What does the word mean to you? An action figure? Soldiers who defend the country, Marvel characters, inspirational writers. Your icons of greatness and contribution, who help everyone else and achieve great recognition for their service.

But what of those.. that do not recieve this recognition?

Heroes, in actual fact, are far more human, and among us, than we might think. What is my definition of them? * ( it is, after all, MY blog, so you listen to my definition, haha)

To them..

You listen to people. You support them from the back, you give them time when they need it, your time, and their own. You sacrifice what you have to help them, to get them through their times of need.. You cheer them up with all you can , with what you have, and you bring their life back to them. But who really takes care of you? Who listens, who knows the turmoil that you have within? Who can see through the sunshine you try to create on yourself, and to pierce the emptiness within your soul, hidden within the flowers that make you look "normal", contented, strong? Or the brick wall, the castle that you are, sheltering them from the wind and rain, and you yourself wear out in time, cracks appear, pipes break, and nothing is left of you... except that which you protected.. Who will save the heroes.........?

Yet you continue to perservere, to hide the pain and the scars in yourself, to inspire everyone else, to try all you can to give aid where it is needed. The beautiful face without a name, the lovely veil to hide the shame.. You may be stronger than most of us can be, but always remember that even the strongest may need help. Do not be afraid to seek it, to ask for another person to share your woes, to lend you a hand, because you have given yours out many more times.

To all of you out there...

Thank you for being one.
