I hear the laughter and the rounds of applause. Why did no one tell me there was no get out clause? Everyones cheering because I've saved the day. I smile graciously but I really want to say:
I'm not a hero even though I rescued you. Helping people is just something I tend to do. Although I'm superhuman, I am allowed to make a mistake. I'm just so normal that sometimes I feel like a fake.
Dont look to me when you need to be strong, or when your life starts to go wrong. Remember this, its something I want you to know. I'm just a girl, you're the real hero.
Inspiration behind this poem: the movie Hancock and the line 'I'm just a man not a hero' in the song Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. I really like this poem, I like how I managed to twist the title at the end.
