"Hero" by Sketso

Give me some blue tights
and a big red "S"
because I know all the ways
to make everything clear
and spouting out answers
that always seem right
I should be able to save the day.

It's too bad I can't seem to hear
a single word that I speak
and the last time I took a flying leap
I fell on my face.
That's when I found out
that everyone laughs at a fool...
even if he's wearing a cape.

I have a Lois Lane
who I'll never impress
and I'm not a friggin' hero
because I'm my own kryptonite
and the only super-villain I battle
is the mirror...
and I lose every time.

i think you're probably somebody's hero.. even without the cape or the big red 'S'.. but this caused a lot of reflection and thought prodding... nicely done

This is a comic book I would refuse to put down. Just remember every hero gets the girl at the end. Maybe you're just in the middle of the story here...
