Superhero

Drew the cover, hope you like it

They think its the best dream

To become everyone's hero

But do they ever think

That being Superman

Is the worst job in the world

 

People are counting on you

They expect you to do no wrong

But I'm not perfect

With every win I recieve

I become more flawed

 

The corruption I face

The choices I make

They think its all so simple

But they only see the pros

No one understands how hard it can be

 

Tell me why this is my life

Tell me why I live such a lie

Tell me why I live like this

Tell me why I have to be the one

To risk my life for the selfish others

 

The aggrivating truth is that they never change

Appriciation is never offered for the right reasons

Attention is always given for the wrong reasons

While appearances continue to be judged and misunderstood

The real hero remains unknown

 

If I die then who can protect them

They count on me to live such a lie

They say I'm a superhero

So why do I always feel

Like I'm becoming such a supervillain

 

Tell me why this is my life

Tell me why I live such a lie

Tell me why I live like this

Tell me why I have to be the one

To risk my life for the selfish others

 

But I do realize

That if its not me

Then it will be no one

 

Only I can fulfill the job

For the sake of everyone

Like it or not

Ready or not

The job is mine alone because

I'm Your Superhero

Author's Note
