The Curse of Competency

Everyone thinks I'm Superwoman.
The problem is, I think I'm one, too.

I can round up thieves with lightning speed,
disarm a bomb with my laser beam eyes,
blow away rain clouds to save a wedding,
perform a roadside surgery with x-ray vision,
and fly into space to deflect an incoming meteor

Oh, I can even stop a bullet with the palm of my hand.

All in a day's work.  By myself.  Who needs Superman?

Until the day Kryponite glows brighter and brighter,
and there is no one to save me because I have always
learned not to depend on anyone who can't do what I do.

I'm sure I'll be just fine on my own.  Why wouldn't I be?
