Week 2 poem: Heroes

As a forewarning, this is not my greatest piece of writing. As a class, we choose a topic to write a poem about for the rest of the week. We write three lines a day, and this is the result.

Heroes

Throughout all of human-kind,
People have always looked up to
A higher "supervisor" for guidance.

What is a "Hero"?
A person? A spirit? A thought?
A piece of your mind? An answer to your prayers?
It is all of the above, but none of them are right.

It might be a person, someone close to you
Someone famous, someone you look up to,
Or a person from the past.

A person to offer hope,
A celebrity, a role-model.
Inspiration, celebration,
A "Hero" is to you, and every one their own.
