Heroine

~Heroine~ I was born to wear my pants on top of my tights Not just dream about but really take to flight With golden amulets around each wrist To fight the baddies and make them pissed. I was born special this I do know From being young I had to grow. My bosoms encased and firmly held “Super Heroine” I will be Je ma pelled.. I know this to be my destiny I have to be patient and that’s not me. The gene pool is strong in us heroines. I know I am one, it’s in my genes. The daughter of a super mum She never fought in wars like some. She battled against poverty from within She is to me my true heroine. Her battle for goodness is closing down The time is coming to pass the crown Her amulets she has packed away to rest Just waiting for me to pass the heroine test.
