Terror in the Eye

Where are the superheroes of yesterday?
Women could take to the air
With their long dark hair
Men could conquer land and sea
Yes, as a child that would be me
I would say
Those powers I knew I had
Whenever my parents made me mad
Wishing they’d change their minds
And forgive me for my crimes
Before they became ill
My thoughts to kill
Oh, how I’d save my love
Roaming below looking above
