Hero Poem by T'Asia McCain

A hero rising through great strife
Fights a battle for her life
Saving those whom she holds dear
Facing all her mortal fears
And as she rises like the wind
She awaits the pain to end
Hoping to find what she has lost
Not aware what it may cost
Unsure if she can take the heat
She knows she won't admit defeat
Willing to give her very all
Answering every deadly call
Beholder to an unknown power
Growing stronger by the hour
Afraid that time may run out
But has no time to fight with doubt
Hearing voices in her head
Will this journey end in dread
Will she fade within time
Or the mountain of victory she will climb
