Hero
I do not sleep.
I maintain my awakeness
surrounded in a room of comic books.
I search for a hero, a savior,
a guiding light that can
lead me through my darkest hours.
The most books I have are of
Captain America
He fights with his shield, man of freedom.
Though my gravity is towards Hellboy
as I'm destined for Hell
and he's made his own journey or two to the feisty world.
Deadpool, Wolverine, Doctor Strange
they comfort me along with Ghost Rider
Moon Knight, Godzilla, Lobster Johnson are all there too.
But who stands above the rest?
Which comic book character is my hero?
Or should I be looking at my bibles and Jesus Christ?
Batman, Silver Surfer and even James Bond...
can they tell the stories I need to hear?
Spiderman, Daredevil, Marauders, they seem to talk to me.
Thor, Loki, Superman...
their books I read
and sometimes just peruse through
But I think my hero is Carnage
Supervillian that's a symbiote.
He keeps me widely entertained!
