HERO OR MAN

I wrought this when my best friend was killed for trying to help someone

                                HERO OR MAN

I feel like im a normal guy.
They treat me strang so tell me why.
I always try to do whats right.
But it dosent mean I dont feel fright.

I do feel fear and do get scared.
That time was just becaus i cared.
I might get hurt or maybe die.
But I cant just site idly by.

Why do they say im so brave.
That day quite simply was very grave.
Im sure that others would do like me.
But not to make folks jump with glee.

They shake my hand then slap my back.
And then tell me I have a knack.
To be a hero and make them proud.
Now say a word to our greatful crowd.

For I bealieve that fear is strong.
But i cannot do what is wrong.
I simply do what I can.
Im not a hero just a man                                          poem by Ronald Sackfield
