I.
I would like to say
that I've given those silly things
II.
I should tell you
I no longer wait for the pages of my comic books
to leap to life
to fight
III.
But that would be a lie,
so I'll just say
IV.
If you meet someone who
believes in heroes,
don't make them stop.
We're getting through the ******* day:
V.
So my crutch is something fictional
something I will never be.
VI.
Take it to your ******* grave,
the words you'd say to me.
"Child's stories" and "fake" and "not real"
Do you think I don't know that?
VII.
I do but it's easier
to get though the day
pretending I have
someone to save.
