Secret Identity

I don't have a secret identity
There's no way to escape
I can't fly over a floodlit city
Safe in my superhero cape
Because the problems just won't go away
Though I worry 'til I am spent
I don't ahve the power to save the day
With my superhero strength.

Superhero, numb the pain
Soar down and save the day
I get bogged down in the mundane
My wings are clipped so I can't fly.

There's no one else that I can be
I don't have a little black mask
I am my own dark nemesis
When the punches come too hard.
There's no catchphrase that I can chant
To make things go alright
I've tried to fly but I know I can't
As I fall into the night.

Hopeful.
