Which superpower you want
As a child,
I wished I had a superpower.
Which superpower?
Any Superpower,
Invisibility.
Teleportation.
Have a Magic carpet.
Become a Foreseer.
Get Magic door.
As a teen,
I wished I had a superpower.
Which superpower?
Any superpower
Power to soar high.
Power to jump across height.
Power to lie.
Power to make money fly.
Power to make everyone kneel.
But as I grew up,
I saw that how every face hid a story.
Story of failed endeavors.
Story on insecurity.
Story of self doubts.
Story of deep rooted hidden pains.
Story of a struggle to stay sane.
As an adult,
Now I know
The actual superpower I wish
Is not the ability
to become foreseer
Or become invisible,
But the ability to give smiles,
The ability to diminish pain,
The ability to see others worry,
The ability to soothe wounds,
The ability to emanate humanity.
