You meet and you talk

You smile and you walk

People are idealizing 

Every movement that you make

Your heart burns and your skin feels tight

But no one knows that you're out of place

You're tired but no one's realizing

No one sees how hard you're trying

Finally noticing

That no one wants to meet you 

They want a picture on a wall or an action figure

They want a hero, and you're weak

They wants jokes, but you feel meek 

You try to hide

But people find

That superheroes aren't what you want them to be
