I never invite people over
something keeps me as a loner


I told someone I don’t care what others think,
and he applauded me for being
superhuman



I laughed at the idea of being some
superhero
having this ability to be different than most


I believed it when I spoke
but now,

looking at myself dirty and naked,


I see that truth etched within
and my superpowers don’t seem to be hiding it well


so maybe
I’m really not a loner


maybe I’m just a human
with the awesome ability 
to pretend.
