A hero

do the right thing

always.

even if it’s

harder,

slower,

lonelier.

stand up

when others sit down,

speak

when silence

feels safer.

protect the soft voices,

the broken wings,

the trembling hands—

because no one else

might.

when you see pain,

don’t look away.

your spine

was made

to hold more

than your own weight.

be the one

who dares

to pull someone

from the fire.

because saving

one soul

is saving

the whole world

in that moment.

and that

is enough

to be

a hero.
