My Hero

A Poem by Jenni Bailey

My hero held my fragile hand

But at the same time, held in high demand

My hero said ”I love you, too, Jennifer”

But at the same time, had me feel unsure

My hero watched me walk

But at the same time, ashamed he taught me to talk

My hero wiped my tears

But at the same time, didn’t see what caused them for years

My hero would tuck me into bed

But at the same time, watched me hit my head

My hero said alot

But at the same time, there were clues he never got

My hero hugged and kissed me

But at the same time, I didn’t know if he missed me

My hero knew I was born different

But at the same time, treated me as tho I was hell-sent

My hero took me to the doctor

But, at the same time, he was the teacher that would ”dock” her

My hero would keep me home from school

But at the same time, his wife wasn’t cool

My hero was my Dad

I didn’t mean to be bad

I just needed someone

But you were just done

You said it all in one sentence

I went on the offense

I used to ask myself ”why?”

I don’t anymore: I just say ”my hero, good bye
