Superhero

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I often said

that i would like

to grow up tall

and strong and might.

 

I often thought

of how i’d feel

to be admired

With arms of steel.

 

I always imagined

that one day, my

name would be

the name girls would cry.

 

With posters up

against their walls

above their toys

on those famous halls.

 

I always hoped

that i would be

a hero, strong

for all to see.
