Superman Complex

I was doing some cleaning and I came across an original handwritten draft of one of my favorite poems. I normally write erotica, but I was going through something when I wrote this. I'd actually lost the original and jotted what I thought was the complete poem from memory. Since finding it, I think the omission of two or three lines has made it an entirely different poem. Post and tell me what you think.


SUPERMAN COMPLEX (short version)

Cast down from the heavens, like bright Lucifer fallen.

Smoldering,ashen, interstellar orphan.

Last son of my own.

Savior unwantedin a world unforgiving.

Everything to everyone, yet nothing to myself.

Omnipotent yet powerless to turn even the most stubborn heart.

I love this world yet,I hate myself.

Save yourself for I can no longer.

I can't be everything to you and nothing to myself.

No one wants a hero... just a scapegoat.

Stop the ride, I want off.

But I can't because even Superman's not supposed to to be able to feel.

But I'm not Superman.

But I am.........



SUPERMAN COMPLEX(original)

Cast down from the heavens, like bright Lucifer fallen.

Smoldering,ashen, interstellar orphan.

Last son of my own.

Savior unwantedin a world unforgiving.

Everything to everyone, yet nothing to myself.

Omnipotent yet powerless to turn even the most stubborn heart.

Save yourself for I can no longer.

I can't be everything to you and nothing to myself.

No one wants a hero... just a scapegoat.

Blame me, Blame You.

I feel the wrath of 10 million screaming souls because,

I can’t be everywhere at onceand nowhere at anytime

I love this world yet,I hate myself.

Stop the ride, I want off.

But I can't because even Superman can’t feel.

But I'm not Superman.

But I am.........
