Modern Day Hero
Born 1975, M, from Manchester, United Kingdom![Modern Day Hero](/storage/story/A5F6161B-8BCC-1F2A-4BD9-C0DDE1B1098A_1719385335-image(412x285-crop).jpeg)
When I was seven years old
I wanted to be the Batman
all caped and crusading around Gotham
the mysterious hero in the Dark Knight.
When I was seventeen years old
I wanted to be John Lennon
Round glasses and army shirt cool
protest singing about peace and love.
These days I find it’s a daily struggle,
when everyone wants you to be just like them,
to be and to remain, and to stay,
true to the person I am.
