I am no one’s hero, no one’s savior
I am only me
I am but one man with one man’s ideas
I can only control myself
I have a particular way about me that many find off putting
And others find inspiring
I have not come to save the day
If that is what you’re waiting for, you will die
I can lead and guide
I can make suggestions
I can lean on the wisdom of those that have come before me
But I cannot save you
Your salvation is your responsibility
Take control of your own destiny
Chase the life you want
I will be here to support you
I am not Superman nor Spider-man
I cannot hear your screams above the noise of night
I cannot fly through the air at great speeds to rescue a damsel in distress
I have not superpowers with which to emancipate
I am but a single human man
And a frail one at that
So do not look at me with those eyes
Do not await my triumphant entrance
When I arrive, it will be humbly
You will make me out to be more than I am
You will tell stories of my great deeds that are grossly exaggerated
You will make a hero of me in the hearts of others
But I am just a man
I implore you, please, take control of your own life
Your own decisions, your own path
I can be of much more help if you do
I am but a weak man
And cannot bear the weight you have asked me to
I am not your savior
I am only me
