Beneath the Suit at Last

Under the Suit
Beneath the scars
There he sits
Superman

He helps out those around him
A thank you here or there
He still feels empty inside
Superman

Too bad he can’t choose his profession
Of course this brings him joy
Although he wishes it could bring more
Superman

Sitting around, waiting
What a wonderful way to spend a day
He loves his job, it doesn’t offer much
Superman

*I wish I could have a life*
*Outside of saving people*
*A family, friends, choices*
Superman

*I hate doing nothing*
*I have to sit here and wait*
*The people need me*
Superman

Feeling empty he hears it
The cry for help once again
Off he goes, away into the sky
Superman

Saving someone once again
What if he would stay at home?
What if he wouldn’t care?
Superman

Superman
Everyone needs him, no one thanks him
He doesn’t see it, but he is my role model.
Too bad he feels empty, I would fill that hole.
Poor ole’ Superman

Not the one in red and blue
Under the Suit of Superman at Last

    I like this alot...it reminded me something more humane. Somehow, one of my superheros is my Dad, but I suppose you didn't mean it like that. So ignore my nieve comment. Anyways I like this...its very well thought out.

    Thanks for the comment. You did a good job on this poem. But one suggestion: Try to minimize the word "Superman" because it sometimes doesn't fit the other stanzas. Cheers to Superman fans! ---E R I S---
