I'm Superman

"I'm always around," said Superman before he waved goodnight to Lois, and flew off. On my last entry, it's entitled "I'm no Superman." But now, I've been thinking, I may be acting like one, like the boy scout in red cape in the movie. I have weakness which starts with the letter K. I have my own Fortress of Solitude. I have writing as my day job - in a company related with mass media. I wear glasses. I fly - my ideas make me soar and others around me. I'm a member of some sort of league to fight for justice. I'm faster than the speeding bullet - in my dreams. I wish i have X-ray vision... if i didn't. :) And just like the Man of Steel, i try to save others in my own little way, trying to be there for them when they are in distress. Similar to the latest movie, even if it's hard to let someone i love go, i'll bid goodnight while assuring her that "I'm always around."

“It is forbidden for you to interfere with human history. Rather let your leadership stir others to. Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and power are needed. And always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. ” - Jor-El

I'm superman, but I'm not. I'm not even super, yet i'm trying to be one, but unlike the Man of Steel, I'm not from Krypton, and i'm here for Truth, Justice, and the Filipino Way (whatever that means), in my own little ways.

It's hard to be someone you are not. Something you do which you are not supposed to. And more difficult still, is being yourself, amidst the corrupt and decadent times - in aspects of society, relationships and many others. I try to be Batman and lurk in the dark executing some poetic justice, but my inner Clark Kent manifests and do the Superman thing. The struggle to be good and not exact revenge is hard. For what it's worth... it's the right thing to do.

Which is harder? Trying to love who you do not love? Or trying not to love who you do love? I think it's the latter. Superman needs a savior too.
