Only Me (Superman poem)
Jan 4 2003
By Nancy Price

i saved the world today
so get up and shout hooray
i lifted a falling comet above me
and now the crowd i saved, they love me

so now i'm back at home
like every night, alone
but who would love me here?
i have no powers, and they have no fear

my clothes are different, my hair
and no one suspects, or would dare
this simple man, the writer
is everyone's hero, a fighter

so who bothers to know me or see?
who loves me when i'm just me?
who sees through my plain disguise
to see the fire in my eyes?

who really would want to see
that superman is only me?
