I am no super hero.
I can't save others from despair.
I can't save my heart from falling and crashing and burning and breaking every single time.
I couldn't save my father.
Or my mother.
Or my grandmother...
I can't even save myself.
But before you deem me an unworthy adversary,
Could you please just leave me the cape.
I'd like to keep putting it on,
And keep playing super hero.
Because one day,
Maybe just one day,
I'll learn how to fly.
And I'll learn how to save the World.

I am no super hero.
I can't save others from despair.
I can't save my heart from falling and crashing and burning and breaking every single time.
I couldn't save my father.

I can't even save myself.
But before you deem me an unworthy adversary,
Could you please just leave me the cape.
I'd like to keep putting it on,
And keep playing super hero.
Because one day,
Maybe just one day,
I'll learn how to fly.
And I'll learn how to save the World.
