Children grow
If this doesn't scare you
then you must not know
They'll see your flaws
As you become flesh and blood
All too human
All too real
Shatter hopes and shatter dreams
They saw you cry
Watched you shout
You showed your flaws
Gave birth to doubt
Now they know; superheros belong in books
Love was only sex and a cheap promise
No more looking back on yesterday's fondly
Instead we dread tomorrows.
