The Paradox of me

I am he

I am he who cries and yet sheds no tears

I am he who tells lies, but the truth is what you hear

I am he who stands all alone, in the midst of a crowded room

I am he who brings sunshine, from the darkness of gloom

I am he who sings of songs, without using any notes

I am he who speaks in poems, without uttering any quotes

I am he on whose head, weighs heavy the crown

I am he who in life was lost, but yet in death am found

I am he who was cast to the ground but still remained unbroken

I am he who was accepted in the club, but still is just a token

I am he who rises with the moon and sets with the sun

I am he who believes in peace and always carries a gun

I am he who is small yet holds the world on his back

I am he who wants it all yet in nothing does he lack

I am he who wishes on stars yet am rooted firmly to the earth

I am he who is as royal as a king, but questions his own self-worth

I am he who loves with all his soul and still protects his heart

I am he who bask in the glow of the light and revels in the dark

I am he who flies over boundaries yet is terrified of heights

I am he who feels so weakly and still displays his might

I am he who is loved by his family and still can feel all alone

I am he who is covered in sin and still cast the first stone

I am he who wanted to succeed but dared not to fail

I am he who sees the big picture, only to read it in brail

I am he who wipes away the tears and causes all the pain

I am he who fell behind in points but will not quit playing the game

I am everything and anything that possibly could be

I am all things and nothing at the same time, you see

I am losing and winning in my struggle to be free

For I am, what I am, and that is simply, I am he

I always wanted to be a superhero

I always wanted to be a superhero, I just never knew where to start

I wasn’t sure if I was brave enough, but I knew I had the heart

But who does one call, to be a superhero

Is there an
