Superhero (Someone for me)

written by: OurSacredHonor

For once in my life I've succumbed to greed
Now I seem to want so much more than I have or will ever need
I'm not quite sure who I want to be
But at this moment it just don't want to be me
Or maybe I'm just not myself
Did I leave me behind to collect dust on some empty, deserted shelf
Of the past?
Is this a phase? Will it last?
The questions bombard me
And I find it so hard for me
To just fit in
I slap on a foolish grin
And play it off to the world again
As I sit here and cry out my heart through my pen
Am I attention starved or just greedy?
Have I lost my way or am I just needy?
In need of acceptance and clarity
Of a foggy situation that baffles me
I don't know what to think or how to say this
But no matter how many times I swing I always miss
Missed opportunity or the chance of a lifetime?
Will I make the right decisions? Will they be at the right time?
I've chosen a path but find myself looking back down the road from whence I came
What If? What If? It's driving me insane
The thought of not knowing what might have been
Just kills me
Nowadays I can't seem to find anything that fulfills me
My dreams are shattered and my first love is lost
Heartless determination pushes me on no matter the cost
My bare feet bleed from marching on through the shards
Inches, feet, yards
Miles upon miles this road tortures me with my every decision
The story of my life is in serious need of revision
I need but one to help me understand
I need but one to offer a helping hand
To lift me up above my lost hopes and dreams
And all that once appeared torn at the seams
I try so hard to be a superhero
Appearing every step of the way, never being noticed though
But I don't really want millions to see
I just want someone to be there for me
