Comic Book Hero (Poem)

Comic books
Have always been a part of my life
Since I was just another toddling toddler 
I was introduced to Superman 
Through the T.V. screen
Watching him beat the bad guys
And fly off at breakneck speeds
I would tie a blanket around myself
So I can imitate and be as strong as him
Even if it was just all pretend
As I grew older my tastes changed
I traded in my super cape
For the mask of a certain wall-crawler
Climbing to great heights like my name was Peter Parker
I learned life-lessons I never thought that I would Comprehend
"With great power comes great responsibility" That's what matters in the end
Comic books
Shaped my life in many ways
They gave me something to inspire 
Great lengths have I now tried to aspire 
And whenever I read about the battle against super-villainy in a new story
I always feel I have that old cape and mask on me
