Real Heroes

Real heroes

Who are the real heroes?
Famous people, that everyone knows
Or the people who sit at home and do nothing but cry
Children who hate being alive, alive when they want to die
Those from a broken home, trying to make things work,
When every one around them treats them like a jerk
The parents shout and scream and kick and hit
Their life's is so so bad but still they don't quit,
Self harm, hunger, thirst every day
But they aren't trying to get away
Finding their own way to cope
They breathe and live in hope
That some day someone will heal the pain
Tell them their efforts aren't in vain
That there is a reason they are alive
And to hold on, just to survive
But until that day they remain unknown
So afraid so......alone
So are these the heroes
That nobody knows?
Because these children have been through so much
But still they havent given up!
