Superman

You call for me 
because I'm your savior
and I come to your rescue
with all my might and power..

Because I am your hero
and I never fail
you can count on me
every hour every day..

But as I fade
into the skies
you never see
these tears I hide..

You call me strong
but I am weak
It's also hard to
have secrets to keep..

I am different
but am I special?
all I ever wanted  was
to belong and be normal..

And as I cower
into my fortress I realize
that this solitude
is my, kryptonite..
