I am Lois Lane.. JUST Lois Lane

i am not Superman.. or Superwoman for that matter.
i am not able to do everything. though i would really want that.
i can NOT be anywhere, anytime.

there will be things i cannot control.
i can get stuck in traffic.
i may lose some cash.
i might oversleep and be late for work.


there will be things i cannot change.
i cannot go fly around the earth to turn back time.
i cannot change the distance between two distant places.
i cannot stop the dusts settling in the bedsheets.


and there will be things i cannot restrain.
i can get tired.
i may feel sadness or depression.
i might get angry on the inequality in life.


i am just lois lane. i am just me.
i can cook while putting the laundry in the wash.
i can fit a week's worth of wardrobe, shoes, and toiletries in one bag.
i can clean the room once a week.
and i can change the sheets when it needs changing.


i swear i do try to do everything. anything. for you.
but i just cant.
there will be limitations for my strength,
and there will be limitations for my patience.

wanting me to be superwoman for you is not really bad.
i wanted to do that too.
but i also wanted you to see me as the girl i really am.
someone who also needs her superman.
