Sad Poems for a Sad Day

Superhero

Superhero

I’m a superhero.

I’m a whole different person at day and at night.

By day I’m a smiling, working civilian,

But late at night I’m fighting a villain.

I’m a superhero.

No one has a clue that outside I’m different,

Outside where they can’t see,

Who really is me.

I’m a superhero.

I work all day and never sleep,

I am awake all night,

Putting up with the villains wanting a fight.

I’m a superhero.

I hide away in a mask,

Protecting my secret identity

Saving the world from obscenity

I’m a superhero.

Everyone thinks I save the day.

But when I take off the disguise,

They are in for big surprise.

I’m not a superhero,

I don’t save the day.

I’m no super civilian.

In fact, I’m the villain.
