How to Be a Hero

It’s those moments
when you make
the right choice,
and do the hard work,
whether anyone
but yourself
knows it or not.

There might be no fanfare,
no reward,
no recognition,
and maybe the majority
of the battle
takes place
inside your head,
where your courage
is fighting with
your fears. 

The world
will probably
never know of you
and your moments
of goodness,
but you should
live like a hero anyway,
because that is
the nature of
your spirit.
