Nice words Adeline, very true, thank you for the inspiration

I like the trenchant tone of this poem. You won't coddle the whiner and say, There, there, it'll be OK. Instead it's a summons to the quest that you declare. Your poem reminds me of some of the wonderful things Joseph Campbell said to Bill Moyers (and all of us, really) in THE HERO'S ADVENTURE, when he emphasized we are each of us the hero of our own individual life. And like Campbell, you argue convincingly that each of us can find that heroic quality within, the real challenge is to exercise it, bring it out in the open, use it creatively. Thanks for your confidence in us! It's so much better than mere sympathy.

A magical little poem. I like it very much.

Feeling good about yourself is hard these days.I like the fighter in you.I saw you on Theos list, Marvellous! beth

I'm a hero, I know it! When my actions show it it's because I'm a hero to me. so true......

Great philosophy. Another thought invoking, uplifting and well rendered poem, as I expected. Deserving a rating
