Click hereBe my hero darling
Save me from myself
Take my sorrow away
Give me a reason to live, to stay
Be my Superman
Become my strength
Use your super vision to see
Impart the truths you find to me
Be my Dark Knight
Teach me to channel my trauma
Help me to rise back up when I fall
Defined by what I do, help me through it all
I am no Wonder Woman
I cannot block the bullets to my heart
I'm teetering on the black hole's brink
I'm not as strong as you may think
My demons are running free
Wrecking havoc upon my life
My flaws are consuming me
Tainting everything that I see
Rescue me from my humanity
Destroy my kyprotnite
My cry for help are these
Save me, be my hero please
And love to see you more positive.
There is byplay between the man as hero and you with your view of your weaknesses that gives the poem that extra dimension to bring it alive.
Personally (and I suspect it is true for others) I find it hard to connect with a poem that is single tone e.g. it is solely about how much the writer loves or hates someone or himself/herself – however heartfelt and sincere the poem may be. I find that such a poem lacks perspective or context.
This poem does have context and perspective and is a much better read for me.
