Hero?

(c) RAHirt

1999

Let me rescue you

 while I drown

  in the chaos and mire

   of life

Let me rescue you

 while I bleed

  from the wounds

   this world riddles me with

Let me rescue you

 while my mind drifts

  to avoid the mayhem

   of my youth

Let me rescue you

 while I sleep

  through torture

   to become a hero

So many of us, mySelf included, find it so much easier to rescue someone else rather than work on Self. While helping others can be good therapy, it can also be a distraction and excuse not to reflect inward for healing.
