The Power


When people see me they look at me strange But I know why I have superpowers There are special and all according to change I can fly I can read your thoughts I can even use fire if it is in range Powers, powers I have superpowers I have laser eyes I have telekinesis I can spit out raging waters to make spiraling towers I can be heard for miles I can speak to your pet I can breathe underwater for hours Powers, powers wouldn't it be nice If I had superpowers Maybe there are none But powers or not I have no vice I cannot fly but I can work hard I cannot read your mind but I can ask I cannot bend fire but I have it in my heart as will than have be made of ice Powers, powers I have none Maybe having now is all I need I can still smile I can still create memories just the same I am not blinded by greed I am human Maybe not in my mind But what is so special about super speed Heart, heart that is all we are Special in our own ways Told we are beautiful It will take us so far We make mistakes We take risks We are not hero's by superpowers or by wishing upon a star We may not have costumes or capes Or cool gadgets Nor lots of money...now at least But it is the small things that make the best shapes You are in fact a hero No superpowers included Powers vs heart both or none you are the best in a ton
