superhero

Oh hi who am i ? oh I’m no one often said by some kid in a classroom somewhere around the world. Who feels invisible, unnoticed, unwanted. Their faces forever lost in the crowd that is a ocean of people. That will forever go on living their normal lives with their “oh my gosh” and “did you hear about..” their endless conversations that seem loop around you and hook you in by the ear to pull you in screaming “Look i caught a live one!!!” You try to wiggle your way out but you are too weak but wait is it because you’re more physically weak or mentally weak or are you both? You spend time and time again contemplating this pondering over this and losing what little breadcrumbs of your sanity you have left. You try to grasp them but they scramble out of your hands and then make a beeline for the exit. But don’t worry they will come back...maybe. But don’t worry about that you have your friends right ? They are there for you when you need them aren't they ? no ? To them you’re a piece of old gum that is stuck to their shoes you try to pull them back and hold on!! But they wipe you off and then toss you to the side. You feel worthless now don't you ? You now wallow in your self pity in the ocean of people, but now that ocean is full of sharks. You must hurry and swim ashore before they eat you alive you swim and swim you see your friends at last a gleam of hope they will acknowledge you and take you back, but just as quick as that hope came it fade as your so called friends point and laugh. You’ve lost your trust in everyone. Your sinking further and further into the abyss.. you’re alone...but, wait no you're not alone!! there are people out there in the world who go through the same thing.  Hold on don’t give up we’re here for you. Hold on we will hold you pull you ashore, and don’t worry about us letting you go, because we know you're pain and we wouldn’t wish that on anyone. You’re not alone we’re here we will come to your aid so take our hand. We will be your mirror to call you beautiful. To tell you that you’re great when you need to be told and even after that!!! To help you to smile even when you don’t want to!! To laugh at your jokes when no one else does!! To hold your hand and never let go. So hold on... and let us be your superhero.
