This Is The Kind Of Hero You Are

This is the kind of hero you are: every time things have become so difficult you can barely breathe, you have clenched your jaw and pulled your way through, even if every odd has been stacked against you.

This is the kind of hero you are: when you have been knocked down so hard that no one expected you to get up from that floor again, you cried, and you howled, but you raised yourself, lifted yourself off the floor and dusted yourself off.

This is the kind of hero you are: you have saved yourself from drowning and waded your own body to the shore just in the nick of time, even through shark infested waters, where the sharks were demons that were keen to drown you.

This is the kind of hero you are: on the days when your mental illness has almost destroyed you, you have still found a way to stand up, go out and do what is required of you.

This is the kind of hero you are: when your entire universe has fallen apart, and all you could do was watch helplessly, you have reached into the wreckage and built yourself something beautiful, something new.

This is the kind of hero you are: every time someone has been cruel and beaten your heart to a bloody pulp, you have taken this broken thing and painstakingly brought it back to life.

This is the kind of hero you are, you are your own knight in shining armour, you have fought the very dragon that kept you trapped, you have conquered every demon, and you still keep fighting every night, you are a beautiful, brave supernova.

Your have never needed a hero to save you. Because your hero has always been you.
