Superhero

my long grey trunk
and thick greying skin
is finally
wearing thin

nobody talks to me
and so what
if I whispered
from the rooftops

despite being repeatedly
murdered
I can clear a room
in seconds

I earned the points, 
all the stares
and I'm damn sure
I'll use them

it's tricky
in a ceramic world
oh, and you're standing
on my cape
