Hero in the Dark

September 22, 2020

Standing in the shadows
Feeling alone in the crowd
Never seeming to fit in
Yet never were they noticed
All of their talents going silent
Their feelings were muted
The rain was pouring down
With the puddles growing below
Fears and troubles were clouding the surface
Never quite understanding what made them so different
Their kindness was shown for the world to see
And it was taken for granted
Never did they stop
Proving their worth
Yet the doubts were troubling to say
It slowed down their pace
But when a cry broke through their thoughts
They stopped and looked up
Sprinting to the scene
They offered a hand helping the other up
They talked and they talked
Things were getting better for the other
With only scrapes as the remnants
Of a fall so hard
And as they walked away
The other could only hope
That with a mind so great and a heart of gold
They would make their goals
To come out with the sun shining down
But for now they stay
A hero in the dark
