My eyes are closed and I’m scared of darkness.

My eyes are closed

I can see nothing,

Am I that empty? Am I out of imagination?

Oh no, wait it's a firework!

Right in front of me

I'm not that empty,

Don't! I told myself,

Don't think,

Just close your eyes, I told myself, and let it see,

It is dark, but it is not cold,

I feel free, but still I'm in chains,

I'm scared, but I wanna see more

No. - someone screams-

I just realized, my eyes are open now,

Open wide,

My world is spinning.

It took me a while

To see what was happening,

Is this real?

Nobody actually screamed.

A Selfish Superhero?

Why was I born? If it's because of this... if it's because of my "super" power, then tell me why? I can make you happy with one small smile, I can make you love yourself with another small smile, I can make all of you happy! But I am not happy, I do not love myself. I thought superheros are famous but no, nobody knows me. No. I'm not a superhero. Do you know when I'm only happy? When I see other people who are happy, who are happy with themselves. I make other people happy not because of them but because of me, they make me happy, they're my superheros.
