The Leap

Every hero has a weakness.
Every icon has a fault.
Every human has failings.
If you will revere a human,
recognize that someone else just won’t.
They’ll delight to find a flaw in your favorite
and shout it around just to see him fall.
It’s always easier to flatten giants
by shouting facts about their faults
Than to celebrate them as human beings
who chose to live a life elevated.
Who is better?
The one who levels,
or the one inspired by levitation?
Overcoming the flaw makes the hero heroic.
Overcoming the weakness makes the icon inspiring.
Because every person has flaws and weaknesses.
But despite this,
some still choose to fly,
and in doing so
remind others that,
being human like them,
you don’t have to always
live bound to the ground.
