Be Strong

Trapped in a mire of troubles

I try without success

To pull myself 

Out of the mud


The more I struggle

The deeper I sink 

I wish for a superhero

To come to my aid


But no matter 

How hard I pray 

He never appears


Finally I realized 

I must become

That superhero 

And through fortitude

And perseverance

I must save myself
