A hero is someone 

who is whole, 

and devotes 

their whole life

to fix the broken, 

and knows that they

will end up just

breaking themselves 

in the process, 

and not caring at all.

Castiel is a 

hero, 

no matter

what you say about him.

He will always 

cry, not because 

he is weak, 

but because he

has been strong

for Dean 

for far too long.

And beat himself up, 

for the people he loved, 

and I....

have fandoms 

to beat myself

up for me....

I am broken, 

but Cas is 

The Cripple Who is Whole.
