Assorted Heroic Words: Zenith

the point of the heavens directly over the head of the observer

Marty had always
struggled with feelings
of hopelessness,
and that didn't change
when he put on
a colorful costume;
he had a hard time
seeing
something bright
come out of
a life he found
increasingly worthless,
wondering why he survived,
what was the point
even when he was
a superhero,
an emblem,
hollow,
shallow,
just out of reach,
out of his vision...

The end.
