The unknown hero

Postby Twisted_Swallow » Sun Aug 26, 2012 12:47 am

Us, we humans seem to look at fame and fortune and status, we seem to take these so called perfect people and idolize them, make them heroes when there’s really these people all around, saving lives, changing lives and changing the world.
These idols, famous rich people set the bar, they show us that you don’t help unless the world sees it, that you cant be a hero if your not pretty or talented but they are wrong.
Its those we don’t see, those we don’t praise or idolize, those little people silently walking the path laid out for them, those are the heroes, the quiet unnoticed shadows that see the world in a different light, those who look forward and leave the past in their footprints, those who sing a beautifully unknown tune…

Things seem broken
in the footprints left behind
we look for heroes there
when its here we'd find.

Blazing fire's visible
in the eyes of these lonely souls
walking the path laid
filling heartless holes.

They whisper to the trees
and sing songs not sung
they never look back
and never ever run.

These are the heroes
the people we don't see
but they are also the
people we strive to be.

Thanx to these silent heroes
those who walk alone
because without you
the world just wouldn't be home.

I absolutely ADORE this! One of my favorite things about your drawing (besides the wonderful message behind it) is the sunset/sunrise behind your unsung hero. I also really liked that you left the hero all black, undistinguishable and a little mysterious, which allowed the cape to really stand out in contrast. :D
Beautifully done!
