Who Am I?


I am a flying hero,

I am the policemen's help
(Even if they don't know it)

I am your very best friend!

I am . . . not human?

I am . . . alone.

I am in love,

I am unable to act on my love.

I am almost without family.

I am always in danger.

I am always lying.

I am a fighter,

I am scared,

I am not immortal.

I am a young man, forced
to become a grown man
in one day.

I shall fight forever.

I shall love forever.

My fight will never be done.

My love will never know me.

My friends, my family, even my enemies,

I love them and I hate them.

For I am the hero now,
But heros aren't supposed
to have problems like this.

Heros are supposed to
beat the bad guys, save
the innocents, and get
the girl.

Well, I have two down,
what about the third?

Forced to become a man in one single day,

Forced to give up something
I hold dear, in a single day.

For in a single day I went
from boy next door,
to super hero deluxe . . .

And it ain't helped
my situation one stinkin' bit.

'Cause I can't tell no one,
or they might get hurt . . .

I can't tell anyone who I really am . . .

The only ones who knew,
they are all dead now . . .

So you see why I can't tell anyone:

I Am Spider Man.
