Hero<o:p></o:p>
By Kathrine Goodall

My hero is gone<o:p></o:p>
Not physically, but mentally.<o:p></o:p>
He's given up fighting<o:p></o:p>
To keep the life so many cherish.<o:p></o:p>
He sits in his chair alone,<o:p></o:p>
Staring at the blank screen,<o:p></o:p>
The box turned off,<o:p></o:p>
Reminding him that soon he will be.<o:p></o:p>
He has changed.<o:p></o:p>
Changed from a father with no worries,<o:p></o:p>
To a shell of a man he once was.<o:p></o:p>
Nothing left,<o:p></o:p>
All hope has been stolen unknowingly.<o:p></o:p>
His heart isn't far behind.<o:p></o:p>
Many have tried to help him come back<o:p></o:p>
But none have succeeded.<o:p></o:p>
I wish he wasn't like this.<o:p></o:p>
I want my daddy, like any other little girl.<o:p></o:p>
But he's slipping through my trembling<o:p></o:p>
Hands.<o:p></o:p>
If only I could save him.<o:p></o:p>
Make him not so gone.<o:p></o:p>
If only he was okay again,<o:p></o:p>
Like the Super-dad he once was.<o:p></o:p>
If only.<o:p></o:p>
But he's not,<o:p></o:p>
And he won't be.<o:p></o:p>
I can't fix the broken man<o:p></o:p>
I call Daddy.
