We all have our heroes <br />redeemers allowed to mesmerize and <br />shackle us with their afflictions and woes <br /> <br />We vanish into them and perish <br />we're held tenaciously by the image heroes <br />have of themselves <br /> <br />We have no personal vision <br />we exist as our heroes <br /> <br />We are prisoners and slaves to false teachings <br />our heroes are lies manufactured by people who <br />preach their truth <br /> <br />Imitating others creates Death <br /> <br />We all have our heroes <br />redeemers allowed to mesmerize and shackle us <br />with their afflictions and woes <br /> <br />Let us look within ourselves! ! <br />We are our own Saviors! !<br /><br />Josephine DixonBanks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/identity-crisis/
