Arachnophobic Spiderman

I've had a taste of my father's medicine

But it wasn't in any way a cure.

It stung like the strongest kind of heroine

That made me prisoner in this ****** moor.

 

It was an addictive transformation

Where I almost lost myself

A painful venom was set in motion

Yet I didn't want to cry for help.

 

I don't need those foggy glasses

I'm a man with a spider's sense

I weave courage while I kick some *****

Not a nerd who cleans his camera's lense.

 

But how can I be called strong

If I couldn't even beat this irony

Though I save a hundred people all day long

I couldn't protect those who are dear to me.

 

If only I could defeat the monster

This eight-legged demon inside me

I wouldn't have to say "In great power

Comes great responsibility."
