Superman

I drew a picture today
of a monster with a horrible face,
one who didn't care
and could take my place

No matter what I do
this is who they see,
so I should give up
let him take over me

Superman
has lost his stride,
you broke his wings
he cannot fly

I will keep quiet
not make a sound,
succumb to the expectations
I cannot live down

This will continue to build,
we both know it's true,
the lifeboats are not lowered
for me, only you

Swim away from this ship
while I sink in the sea,
I'll go down as the captain
you can go free.

When you reach the shore,
please don't mention my name,
as the weight on my lungs
doesn't exceed my shame

    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
