everyone wants me to be Superman for the day.
yet they don't know I bleed.
my red Cape tears.
I try to fly I stumble.
I try to dodge a bullet it just pierce my flesh.
I try to stop a bus of people it feels like a mac truck ripping me to shreds.
I try to balance my personal life with my supposed to be life.
yet the weight of the world has me on my knees.
I'm unappreciated.
I'm taken for granted.
I never really hear the word love.
even the girl who I happened to love looks at me like I'm invisible yet I never say a word.
no one really sees me and for awhile I was fine with that.
invincible emotions yet I crumble I break.
my tears are made of glass.
my heart's not steel but bronze yet I always get hurt.
often I just want One day when I'm not stressed pushed or unhappy.
yet my tears fall and shatter causing my cheeks to bleed.
some days I wish I had kryptonite to end all.
sometimes I want to scream so loudly that people's ears bleed.
knowing that Love and understanding is all I need.
I'm not Superman I bleed I cry.
I burn with rage.
and I love fiercely.
yet I'm not Superman when I look up at the moon.
I'm human and that makes me feel like a fool.
like a freak.
yet the circus is in town?
is that where I supposed to be?
yet there's where I wish the world forget about me.
I'm a burden that's how it feels to me!
do I have a god complex or am I just naive?
seeing not everyone's fault except the ones I'm tortured with me?
I want to run away somewhere far somewhere safe.
yet I'm Superman I'm not safe from anyone who knows me.
paparazzi blinding.
even my X-ray vision could burn them out.
fame so bleak my powerful superhuman legs couldn't stomp it out.
yet I ache and feel like everyone else.
yet they don't see.
but seeing is believing but no one sees me.
yet I should be called the invisible man.
not the man in the Cape or a crusader at night.
I'm only human and that is not even alright.
humanity sucks.
no one cares about a vigilante during the day sleeping as a reporter at night.
yet they want to be saved.
what if I walked away from it all?
would that be alright?
I'm not Superman.
I just want to be loved and happy alright!
