Game Over

Stats frozen, game over, health dropping, game over, powers depleted, game over. A hero I am, no longer strong, my meaning diminished, like it was all along. Can't I stay, in my city and play, my friends are gone, game over. My cape tattered, ripped, broken, game over, my mask burned, game over, my strength gone, game over. I see the countdown, only thirty seconds left, game over. I see a light, a beacon of hope, coming my way, too dark to reach, my hand stretches, I grasp the handle, I hold it high. Game over? I think not, My torch of hope, no hero left to die, thank you friends, for that encouraging cry, you saved me from, game over.
