Sitting here tonight, wondering what I’ll find,
Looking for a hero – he’s gotta be one of a kind,
He’s got to be able to see past my façade,
To find the love hidden in me,
He cannot be afraid,

Cause I need a hero,
To come rescue my heart,
Lord I need a man,
That knows how to play his part,
He can’t be just anyone,
He’s gotta be the best,
Baby I’m looking for something real,
Someone different from the rest,

I’m so good at those games,
That the bitter hearts do play,
I’m so good at hiding,
The things it wants to say,
My heart is a fortress,
That no one’s broken through,
But God I need - I want to love,
Is my hero hiding in you?

Cause I need a hero,
To come rescue my heart,
Lord I need a man,
That knows how to play his part,
He can’t be just anyone,
He’s got to be the best,
Baby I need something real,
Someone different from the rest,

Never believed in fairy tales,
Prince Charming was make-believe,
Cinderella was a child,
Too innocent and naïve,
Hero save me from myself,
From shutting the whole world out,
Rescue the girl I am inside,
Before she drowns in doubt,

Hero, Hero, come and save this lonely little heart,
Hero come rescue this girl from tearing herself apart,
Hero strong sweet hero, please come find me here,
Hero, my hero, hurry before I disappear.

a touching plea but the inconsistent slang is annoying and childish.

still, its tough at the end, i could feel it.

I like it, and I wasn't annoyed at all. Was the poem intended for music?

Jamie Lynne, I liked your poem. I know exactly how you felt. I was like that until my wonderful hero...my Gary, of course...came and rescued me from myself. This part really hit home...
"I'm so good at those games,
That the bitter hearts do play,
I'm so good at hiding
The things it wants to say"....

If Gary doesn't watch me I fall back into those feelings of doubts and fears and start building that wall back up again...even after such a long time. The past really scars sometimes, doesn't it? I hope you find a wonderful man like my Gary. You probably can right here. My Gary is a poet, too!!! Good luck, and thanks for sharing.

Love to All,
Ethel....garysgirl

I loved your poem..I feel this way too at times..but unfortunately I'm young and naive..Cinderella you know..

Head stuck so far up faerie tales and then when I fall..I realise that all this time the hero lies within me..sappy I know..sorry but it's true..I'm lonely but in time we all find the one to help us but they don't hold all the answers..

Consider yourself fuzzed

Thank you all so much for your words - and you toerag - you made me smile, thank you.

It's nice to be back, it amazes how much this place and it's "inhabitants" feel like family.
