The little boy told his dad he's going to be Superman

He could survive anything and everything

From the bad guys, to the swords

He was going to save the world

By the time he was 16

He sure was Superman

He fought the bad guys, and the swords

He was trying his best to save the world

But what people don't know is;

The bad guys were his thoughts

The swords were his razor blades

He was trying to save his own world

And one Sunday afternoon

Superman tried a new superpower

The ability to fly

He wanted to escape his world and go somewhere else

No more swords or bad guys

No more feeling alone

So he stood on top of his building trying to escape

And with one jump

He did.
