Hero, words of a man

I am not a hero
Just a man who simply cared
I am not a hero
but i stand when others run

I am not a hero
but i'll sarifice myself
I am not a hero
but my words have changed some lives

I am not a hero
but i know i'll die as one
When you die a hero
Your memory lives on

But when you die a hero
all there was of you is gone
But if I die a hero i will die for those i love

I am but a soldier in this war that i call life
But i am not a hero, just a man with words that spun
But if i was a hero i would bleed for all I love

But i am not a hero, just a man with things to say
But if i was your hero, i would take your breath away..

Simple, honest words. A poem by a grieving poet
