Some face challenges others cannot imagine
Great struggle is what marks a heroes path
Not all heroes experience danger, nor fear
Some are born in pain with bodies broken
Some have gone through lives of torment
PTSD's brutality leaves them tortured
Not every hero is violent or carries a gun
Not all are told that they're destiny's son
There is a path leading beyond struggle
It is narrow, unrewarding, often forgotten
Inspirations received become an inner fire
The hero's journey has the power to inspire
Outwardly beautiful or not, famous or obscure
Charisma or popularity are not the measure
Enduring and facing struggle
Reveals the hero
