Superhero sonnet
They wear masks and capes
And wear them with pride
Because when a demon escapes
They know that we stand by their side.
But what about the rest of us?
What about us sidekicks and citizens?
No capes or masks for us?
But aren’t we all the same when the day ends?
We are the heroes of the day
And we walk with pride
Because no one can take that away
Not even when we all have died.
Every one of us is a hero
And our invisible masks and capes show how
We try to let you know
“It’s okay, because you’re safe now.”
We are the real heroes of the day
They are just stories that were told yesterday.
