Superpowers

Always a question

Something oft inquired

Wondering and whying in those

Get-to-know-you games

Any superpower, yours to have

What would you be?

Seems a simple query

But just as the Titanic learned

Icebergs seem much

Smaller from above

Answering to “what

Superpower would you want?”

Speaks so much more,

Runs so much deeper

It's a fight or flight response

Invisibility, teleportation

What are you hiding from?

Super strength, unlimited power

Why, do you feel weak? Unworthy? Small?

My response to such

An inquiry

Wings or none, I don't care

Simply put, I long to be

Free

What are you? Who do you wish to be?
