I almost made it. I almost did it.

I was granted the abilities,
I was afforded the opportunities,
But the great responsibility didn't come with great power,
And my belt no utilities.
That time I was almost a super hero.

You honed your craft,
You rehearsed your act,
But when your knees grew weak and your palms sweaty,
You couldn't keep it in your pants.
That time you were almost a successful comedian.

Superhuman strength nor inspirational charisma
Couldn't un-dig this hole
More Zod than Superman, the Brock to your Peter.
If we're all the heroes of our own stories,
Then who are the leaders.
So before we become greeters and eaters and mugs,

Let's remember that we almost made it and we can almost make it again.
