Heroes Where Costumes
It’s been a while since I’ve put on the costume. Because that’s what it was, a costume. How naive I was to believe I could save the world like that.
I folded up the golden leotard and placed it back in the truck, locking it away again. I went to my closet, trading one costume for another as I pulled out a dark blue pantsuit and sensible, black pumps. And let’s not forget the pearl necklace and matching earrings. And lastly, the flag pin. Because nothing says I love my country more than its flag pinned to my lapel.
Well I better stop stalling. The car will be here soon. Time to go save the world, just in a different way.
