Superhero poem

[better-than-ecstasy]

Everyone is so quick to call their hero Superman
But inside everyone there’s a villain
Some even prefer the term, “vigilante”
But you never did check on me while I was sleeping

Tell me does your wrist produce scars instead of spider webs
Yet somehow you still think you’re better than everyone else

Ohhh, you pull the trigger, but it’s not a bullet that runs
Because just like Batman, you refuse to resort to guns
I’ll try and protect myself with this vibranium shield
But it doesn’t do much because we’re from completely different stories
And no matter how many times we say we don’t want to fight
It’s what we do, it’s who we are, and it’s our job day and night
Even after everything, you’re just a man in a suit
And I’m just a woman who only has power when I show some skin

You expected me to be your Scarlet Witch
But for now you’ll settle for The Enchantress
Until you see the day when a place like heaven
Finds its position in your weapons

Tell me does your wrist produce scars instead of spider webs
Yet somehow you still think you’re better than everyone else

Ohhh, you pull the trigger, but it’s not a bullet that runs
Because just like Batman, you refuse to resort to guns
I’ll try and protect myself with this vibranium shield
But it doesn’t do much because we’re from completely different stories
And no matter how many times we say we don’t want to fight
It’s what we do, it’s who we are, and it’s our job day and night
Even after everything, you’re just a man in a suit
And I’m just a woman who only has power when I show some skin

How many times do you need to see the psychiatrist?
Until you’re brainwashed enough so that the good guys are the ones who you’re against
We both may be powerless
But I can still make music with these mallets

Tell me does your wrist produce scars instead of spider webs
Yet somehow you still think you’re better than everyone else

Ohhh, you pull the trigger, but it’s not a bullet that runs
Because just like Batman, you refuse to resort to guns
I’ll try and protect myself with this vibranium shield
But it doesn’t do much because we’re from completely different stories
And no matter how many times we say we don’t want to fight
It’s what we do, it’s who we are, and it’s our job day and night
Even after everything, you’re just a man in a suit
And I’m just a woman who only has power when I show some skin

One of these days your scars will produce spider webs
I just hope you don’t use your incredible ability only to save yourself

The references are excellent!

I agree with Dez and I love this part.

Tell me does your wrist produce scars instead of spider webs

I loved the references. And, I also really liked the part that Cassado pointed out. It stood out to me quite a bit.

Thank you all!

I love this so much. The part that Cassado quoted was amazing and my favourite but the whole thing was so nicely done.
