wanna close my eyes, wish upon the stars that all the misery in this world would disappear. The homelessness and hopelessness would end. I close my eyes wishing that I can make a difference to end the misery, a change. I wanna help, really do. I stand up for what I believe. I wanna believe that I am superman in a red cape saving the day with a happily ever after. Saving a damsel in distress. I wanna be your superman with a red cape.

But on earth there are two worlds. Disney fairytales and real life. My dreams are fairytales I believe in, but real life is what we are actually living in.
So I am told, son, you can't live in make believe all day long. It is impossible to close your eyes and save the day with your power. It is impossible to save everyone. You can, however use your power to save the few you can, to make the lives of the few better. Don't be discouraged. You can, you can make a difference with a few. The few you helped.
