Ballad
I Am No Hero
Introduction When we think of heroes, we often imagine people with superhuman strength, extraordinary courage, or unmatched abilities. They save the day, stand tall against adversity, and inspire us with their actions. But what about the rest of us—the everyday people who lead quiet lives, stumble, fall, and try to make sense of this chaotic world? Not everyone wears a cape, and not every story is one of victory. This is a reflection on why I am no hero, yet why that’s perfectly okay.
