Who am i?

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Jul 11, 2011


Ive never tried anything like this before somone gave me the idea so i thought id have ago .

I never knew my father I never new my mother
I don't have any sisters, I don't have a brother
I was adopted from birth I fell from the sky
And it left me with one question "who am I".

With Super human strength, oblivious to gravity
Faster then a speeding bullet "is it all insanity"
From freezing breath to scolding hot eyes
I have to hide who I really am, wear a disguise.

I'm a well mannered reporter that's all you see
An everyday normal guy but this isn't really me
I need to be this man to keep my loved ones safe
If my enemys found out, there life would be erased.

I'm in love with a woman, but we can never be
She's in love with the hidden part, which is inside me
If only I could tell her, "I'm one and the same"
If only we could be to ease each others pain.

Im called the man of steel im known for my uniqueness
Im not invincible, for kryptonite is my weakness
Im torn between these lives I need to be set free
I need to no who am I "which one is the real me ".

    I love reading the poems where the man is the one with the insecurity, and he wishes he could disclose the fact to someone that he's not as strong as he appears. His past does upset him. His thoughts aren't always of brute strength and hope and protection.

    "I was adopted from birth I fell from the sky"

    Minus the punctuation error, this line just is so sad. It makes me feel like the speaker has no idea where he belongs, or comes from. :c

    You have some really good rhymes in here. I like how the reader is kept guessing until the final stanza where you give subtle clues to let the reader know who the narrator is. You conveyed the difficulty of living a dual life here, and the frustration that it causes (or at least I presume it causes, I don't live a double life *shifty eyes*). 5/5 :)
