Hero Poem by Jameaka Shibles

Everyone says that they have a hero.
Some say that a fireman is their hero,
Others say a policeman.
Most their mom and/or dad.
But I say myself.
Only I can save myself.
A fireman,
Policeman,
Mom,
And/or dad can show me the way,
But I have to make it the rest of the way.
A fireman can't make me start a fire,
I can.
A policeman can't make me steal,
I can.
Mom and/or dad can't make me have good grades,
I can.
I choose my life.
I choose the path the I follow.
