I wrote these lyrics when I was going through a difficult time. Everyone seemed to be telling me to just forget it, it won’t happen again, why can’t you just drop it etc etc. Even though I was doing my best, things would still happen and remind me and everything would come up again. It was like I was watching a scary movie and every time I got past the part that made me jump, someone would hit rewind.
It also reminds me of this time of year. As you know I am an introvert and this time of year always makes me anxious. I get thrown out of my routines. Christmas parties and Christmas shopping and the crowds of people and just the busyness of the season gets to me. I am trying to do better at just taking a few deep breaths and remember the real reason for the season, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born. It was just a few years ago I couldn’t have said that. I am a work in progress, one that I know will always have improvements to make.
Anyway, here are the lyrics. If anyone wants to put music to it and make it a song, feel free to contact me to collaborate.
I’m Not Superman
You made me who I am
They think I’m superman
These feelings I conceal
I don’t know how to feel
They say I am strong, that I am strong
I hide my thoughts that I don’t belong, don’t belong
Honestly I have to say I am a mess
This is the truth I must confess
I can’t speak but inside I’m screaming
Truth is I’m not even breathing
I carry these burdens on my own
My heart is always a stone
I can’t let them see, they can’t see
I’m not who You want me to be
If I let it go, if I forgive, can I forgive
If I surrender can I learn how to live
If I let it go am I weak
I try to ask but I can’t speak
Trying to be who God made me to be
Their words are killing me
They can’t seem to understand
I’m not superman, I’m not superman
You made me who I am
They think I’m superman
I pray to live my life for you
Do they see you in all I do
They just don’t understand
I just can’t be superman
