She walks the halls gracefully,
Gliding with every step.
Giving everyone around her,
A little bit of pep.
She's not afraid to sing in the hallways,
Not to break out in a dance.
She's not afraid to make choices;
Not afraid to take a chance.
She's not afraid to follow her heart,
Not afraid of what's there to come.
She's not afraid of teachers or parents,
Not afraid of anyone.
She’s not afraid of tomorrow,
Or of what happened yesterday.
She’s just happy with what she’s doing;
Which is living life her way.
She’s not afraid of bringing up the past,
Or of getting ready for her future.
All she really cares about,
Is living her life for her.
Who is this “She” you must be wondering,
Thoroughly confused.
Who is this person I’m talking about?
And is she really true?
Yes, this person does exist;
In this reality.
The person who is my hero,
Is who I long to be.
Author notes
My hero is a mixture of the qualities that my two BFFs have. The two lines that fit them the most are:
"She’s not afraid of tomorrow,
Or of what happened yesterday."
Which is why that's my optional preview.
My hero is who I long to be.

I love this poem it shows srtong feelings for the people you care about. The flow of the poem is good but at some parts it felt forced. I like it though looking forward to reading more

That was beautifully written, I like the concept of the write. At the end I was so sure you were going to say your hero was your self. Outstanding piece,
