Putting on my cape to be Superwoman,
Determined to heal others and save the day.
Maybe then, they'll see how much I care,
And appreciate me for being their saving grace.
But, the weight of this cape pulls me down.
What was once a bright smile, now a deep frown.
I've been saving them, but losing myself.
Left stranded, with no one to turn to for help.
No one to wipe my tears or say it'll be okay.
No one to fill my empty cup or give me life.
Just my cape, stepped on and tugged at,
Until I turn into an ugly monster.
Now, I put on my cape for a different cause,
To save myself and mend my flaws.
No longer saving people,
I realize it's not my job.
