Shazam

To have a magical word of healing.

How I wish

I had a magical word

To transform me

Like Billy Masterson has

Into Captain Marvel.

 

Able to defeat

My tormenting dreams

With a single body blow

Freeing me

Forever.

But this

Only exist

In comic books

And graphic novels.

 

Offering a temporary escapes

From the reality

I'm dealing with

On a daily basis.

 

Walking the long

And often

Painful road of healing

Transforming myself

One step

At a time.

 

Sighing softly.

Still

It would be mice

Having my own magical word.

Author's Note

Ok, I'm a comic book geek.
