No Superheroes
by Regina Puckett
Who’s out there
Crying those sounds of despair
Desperately seeking truth and fairness
Searching everywhere for self-awareness
Trying to have transgressions righted
But finding only your inner goodness slighted
Where’s Superman with his trusty cape
Or Batman when you need to make the big escape
So if you find yourself in the dark without a light
Put your big girl panties on and fight your own damn fight
