Hero? ? ? Poem by Filipini Sotyt

I used to live inside my own world…
I had my own life from several years back…
I got my own so-called family…
I played the role of a superwoman…
My other half tried to be the superman …
We were the most vulnerable heroes of all time…
We had our superboy…
He serves as our only inspiration…
The source of strength…

At first, I thought being a superhero is just as easy as it may seem…
Having the power to do whatever we may think of doing…
Expressing bravery in getting into troubles w/o looking back…
Possessing all the guts to grab everything that are at stake…
Thinking not of the cons and pros behind the actions….

But I was terribly wrong….

Sometimes, being a superhero doesn’t necessarily mean
That you are capable enough to face everything that may come along…
Being a hero is not actually a success…
It may sometimes turn into a failure…
A failure that will serve as the most frightful moment in our lives…

Being a hero shows fearlessness…
But don’t get so overwhelmed….
It may also be your ghost in the end…
Don’t be so sure coz it may leave you powerless
When you reach the limit…

Please don’t get me wrong …
It all happened to me in an instant …

Look at me now….

The battle went on simultaneously…
I fought hard… I faced all the monsters w/ all my might…
I carried no fear along the combat…
I used all the strategies I’ve learned…
I thought I was the best superwoman ever…
Never noticed that my superman left me in the midst of the fight…
I went through the darkness by myself…
I carry no light at all…
Extremely entered into the wild life and dodge w/ all the opponents…

But…

I lost the fight…

It came to me so late that everything lasted that day…
My world turned upside down…
The chapter has changed apparently w/o any clue..
Until I realized that I was isolated into a different world…
And was cast away from my so-called life…
I was bound to be alone…
Away from my superman and only superboy …
I just woke up in a different dimension….
And as I got into my senses,
The battle was still undone….
There’s another combat waiting for me on the other pace of the world…
And left me no choice but to prepare for another clash….

This time…
The chapter was more crucial…
It wasn’t as simple as what I’ve been through…
More opponents… more snakes were on the row…
Much difficult as it may;
But just like any other superheroes around….
There are flaws and falls as the boat sails along…
There were instances that a hero gets weak…
And as it happens, temptations are taking place…

Heroes are not perfect…
And so am I …
I opposed to be the finest of all…
But it’s not that simple after all…
Though I stood to be trouble-free and pure along the journey….
Life will somehow test your patience and moral uprightness…
Unfortunately, I failed the adversity….

Too late that I’ve realized that somebody way back home
Is still waiting for my home-coming…
I left them behind and went on through my voyage…
Until I got so bothered by the things that rushes over me…
My mind was crumpled and confused by sudden realizations…

I was awakened by a rapid angelic voice…
Until it came into my sanity, it was my superboy…
Screaming out and yelling my only name…
Prompting me to continue the battle…
Crying out loud and reaching out for my hand…
And so I got into my consciousness…

It was my superboy who needs me way back home…
I need to get up and turn my back-off from the fire that tempted me…
Sudden deliberation came into my thinking…
I need to come back home from where I used to be…
I ought to finish the clash which I’ve entered into
And be back with my so-called life forever once more….

“Life is full of mysteries, we never know what life may bring, but be prepared… it may be difficult though but always remember that somebody out there is looking forward for a better tomorrow and you should be brave enough for that somebody…”
