My Own Hero
A poem inspired by Andy Grammer's song, My Own Hero. Image drawn by @BethyFaber
My own hero
My own shining knight
I'll come riding in
In the darkness of night
Don't let go
Don't fall to your knees
Push the wolves away
Oh honey please
My own hero
With a mask and a cape
Deep down inside me
I'll help me escape
Don't cave in
Hold on in your heart
Draw back your arrows
You'll hit the mark
My own hero
From purely within
Because I don't need you to tell me
That I needed saving
Will you come running?
To fight by my side?
It's okay if you don't
Because I have enough pride
To be my own hero.

Experiences
In the country of white walls and marble floors, dazzling in the sun. When the light fades and we pull down the shades, you'll find the party has just begun. There are new foods and gorgeous views, Narrower streets and people to meet, Along with the summer's burning heat. A trip for a year, a foreign language you'll hear. Teaching and learning and learning while you teach, A new experience as you experience the new. Reveal the secrets they don't try to conceal, All in this world if you'll give it a whirl, On this dry land.
