I'm not a : Wonder Women
Spider Man
James Bond...action figure!
But on the whole, I'm something so much BIGGER!
Not to you, Not to him, Not to her...But to me!
I'm all three at once and that's all I see
And you can call me "vain", I don't mind!
But let me ask you "where's your Hero?"
For I see mine in mirrors!
And you may well wonder why
What made me vain and happy to lie?
But truth is, and has always been
Hard to swallow, and never seen
Sooooo, you NEED a reason
You can't believe I'm "all that!"
Its so simple you know...
"What you reap, is what you sow!"
I'm the one who picks me up.
I'm the one that stops the tears.
I'm the one that makes me beautiful.
I thank myself for once
"Wait for others" Could take MONTHS!!!
Author notes
If I don't think I'm beautiful, I won't believe other people if they say I am. Self esteems something everyone should be blessed with, its a beautiful thing. hope you like x

Thank you for entering my "Heroes and Heroines" competition. I am sorry to have to say, though, that this entry did not fit the requirements of the competition. As you will remember - the purpose of the competition was to select poems for a preesentation as a part of a service in an Abnglican church/arts centre.
And although we were not asking for specifically "relgious"£, they did have to be something that would be suitable to the occasion and the venue, not in mhy personal opinon, but in that of a mainstream Anglican audience/congregation. And the heroes and heroines we featured - while not necessarily of saintly virtue, did need to be people who in some way can serve us an inspiration and example to us ordinary mortals - and to which the Vcar could make appropiate allusion in his homily which was to follow.
And I am afraidf that the theme of your poem simply did not fit these criteria - unless they were to be taken as an (negative) example NOT to be followed - and I am sure that you would not have wanted that.
Sorry - but one of the most important things a writer needs to learn is what are and are not appropriate outlets any specific piece of his/her work. But I wish you well with the poem .... elsewhere.

Hey, very great write, so true. We often dont realise how much we actually do for our self, we do get ourselves up every morning and face the day, it is our responsibilty to look after ourselves. I have never really relied on others because i dont really trust others, so i pretty much should see myself as my hero, i have survived my painful childhood and i have survived all the addictions i went through. I should be my hero, thank you, very powerful words xxx

what a fantastic poem i think that is just brill and totally agree with your content and the imagination used to express your internal positive attitude,
we are responsible for sculpting our own realities. -
lol i must say this IS very well fit to my prompting and though I'm honestly not a fan of seeing a poem entered in a large number of comps. but you picked ones thats actually fit which is a rarity. Tre bon!

great poem
You are absolutely right ! I never thought - ofcourse we are our own superheros' we heal ourselves others cant! - thats quite enlightening actually! well written what a great perspective
-
Nice poem. I don't look for the beauty on the outside, I look for the beauty that comes from within. My GrandMother used to say to me, Beauty is only skin deep, Ugly is to the bone, Beauty often fades away, but ugly holds it's own. Your beauty comes shining through.

I love the rhythm to this!
It's really good and just wow! Blew me away into the wind =)
I love these lines:
'Sooooo, you NEED a reason
You can't believe I'm "all that!"
Its so simple you know...
"What you reap, is what you sow!"'
and the last two!
This is truly a good write good luck! ^_^ -

awww thanks for the lovely comment, glad you like it x

HEHE I love the imagery and the pace that you have written this at!!
your honesty and damn right attitude is excellent!
I wish I saw my hero in the mirror
my fave lines are:
Its so simple you know...
"What you reap, is what you sow!"
and your ending is so true; especially to be thanked, it does take people a long time to appreciate you and I am "glad" that you appreciate yourself
Normally I don't like all of these "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
but I think considering how you have written this poem; you definitly got away with it....but it's not needed as you do get your point across very well
I like this because it is UNIQUE and totally positive
Great work and goodluck in the contest

Good one Lucy! Glad you enjoy a person such as yourself. Keep on penning!!

well if i didn't like myself i'd still be stuck with how i used to be years ago! and i would never want to be that again. i love confidence, some people must think im vain for this poem, but you ask any person what they like in a person and its normally confidence. they dont want someone who hates themselves and has to be told every five minutes how great they are!!!! i just think everyone should show a little self appreciation once in a while, makes you feel better. thanks for the comment x

I really like what this one is saying. Saying to have some sort of self esteem and its okay to appreciate yourself.
Great message.
