Hero
Mariah Carey
Written by Woojo Jang
Illustrated by Cheongho Cho
Do you remember
That you’ve once dared to claim the sky,
Longed to reach the brightest star,
And hoped to embrace the largest ocean?
But when the wish flickered,
Pain grasped your ankle,
And a black tide kept leaping and bellowing
While you bore in the cold shadow.
Falling in the darkness,
You were dying, cursing the world of beautiful lies.
But then it came to you,
That it was you who caved your own Hell.
Just on the other side of the veil,
A small yet strong voice called out your name.
Then you realized
That the Hero had always lain in you.
