Wow this is so powerful. I really like the child-like tone in that they really believe the world is a wonderful place and superheroes are all around us and will protect us, then when we grow older we realise some truths and the cruelness in the world and our beliefs are shattered.

i also got a sense of a hint towards parents. Like they were the ones there when the fears came in the night, perhaps through ightmares, but then as we get older our parents don't seem to soothe us in the same way and perhaps we feel unprotected by them when we thought we would always be.

Very powerful poem and I enjoyed the read. Had a nice beat/flow to it and almost a subtle rhyme pattern throughout. Well done!

I love this . soo deep and beautiful
