Why The Helpers Are Who They Are
A poem about those who tried despite the world not wanting them.
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and pain
Is it for the good of themselves or others
Would they not be happier sharing a dance, or a kiss under the rain
Or listening to the laughter of the young and their mothers
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and pain
The effects always leave them so dammed mad
In a world designed to drive even the strongest insane
We live in a world that's leaving little for which to be glad
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and pain
It's not for themselves, that much is true
They've learned the secret to living in a world for which they have disdain
They live in a world where they've learned what's important to do
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and such pain
When they could easily bow out of the rat race
They haven't lost the belief that there's something they can gain
Even when the world is passing them at a racer's pace
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and such pain
They know the sound of the calling
They choose not to escape, to get on a plane
They try to help those who are falling
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and pain
When they could have chosen a far kinder fate
They chose to go against the popular grain
To fight the enemies storming the gate
Why does one choose to suffer such struggle and pain
To be seldom appreciated, or even fake thanked
Because someone needed to help that little old lady walking with a cane
Even though they risk their lives with futures that could have tanked
Why be who they are
Instead of being someone else with a safer life
Their spirits couldn't have gotten as far
Without risking not making it home, to friends, family, even a wife

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
