Hero

I scribbled this down during one of my English classes last year

Be a hero.

Save the world.

That’s what you said you wanted to do when you grew up.

Years later you realize,

“I am not a hero”

 

I am an invisible person.

A silent voice straining to be heard.

To make a change.

To save the world with my words.

But, only heroes can save the world.

And I am not a hero.

I am an invisible person.

A voice who wants to make a change.

But I still hope that change will come.

I hope to become a hero,

So I can save the world.

Good to want to save the world. Maybe you can. Look at the people who did the great changes for peace. They were people with great dreams and hope. I like the logic of this poem. Real life can change our life but we need to hold on to our dreams. I like the positive ending in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

You are very welcome. Btw, if you enjoy superhero stories, you would like my story "A letter to Charlemagne". You should check it out if you get a chance :)

This poem makes us all feel insignificant, and we are when we stand alone. It takes many to stand up make a change. The poem is great, but the third time you say "I am not a hero" doesn't really need to be there. If you can take a line out and it doesn't change the meaning at all, then that line shouldn't have been there in the first place. The second time you said it on line 11 had a great impact, it was good to put it there, but the third one just seems unnecessary. Great poem though the ending was perfect. It showed that there is always hope in this world.
