Heroes are heroes
with their own Kryptonite
they try to fight battles
that aren't their's to fight
we say we'll try harder
that we'll do our best
but give-up the first time
we're faced with a test
we just make excuses
you no you do too
like," just sprained my ankle",
or," home sick with the flu".
there are hurdles to jump through
trust me there are
just try a bit harder
you'll be flying far
you'll be your own hero
your own Superman
just try a bit harder
and stick to the plan

An intriguing poem, nicely penned. Powerful, and the rhyme scheme is interesting. Great job
