My Hero by Keri

#45 My Hero

This poem describes how I feel about certain people in my life. It conveys the message of friendship through a hero's eyes. This poem is dedicated to all those unsung heroes out there who don't consider themselves a hero, yet people in their life do. I believe that the unsung heroes in the world today are one of the most important kind of people.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems - Teen Poems about Friendship

My Hero

by Keri

You may not consider yourself,
But you may very well be
A leader, a winner,
For all the world to see.

In the eyes of others,
You are a martyr.
You have received recognition,
And you have worked harder.

But why ? Why all the praise?
I have done nothing but kept my word,
To a dear friend who needed me,
In every incidence that occurred.

But friend, I tell you, you are a hero.
You helped me see the light.
When I had no eyes,
You saved me, and you were my sight.

This poem is a very well constructed one. It makes you feel like a burden has been lifted in a way. You are a very talented person and you shall go a long way with poetry if you plan to stick to it. I guess that I'm rambling a bit too much and i don't mean to take up your time like this, but you should know that your poem speaks louder than words to some people, I happen to be one of those people. Continue writing poetry and you will go a long way, see ya!
