Hero

What I need is a hero
Though it's not what I want
Someone to tell me how it is
And to show me how it should be

What I want is a lackey
Though it's not what I need
Someone to say it was a good effort
And to nudge me towards trying again

But what I want is not what I need
Because that's in here already
And it takes a hero to bring it out

An average
Ordinary
Everyday
Superhero

So I better get my cape
