You and I......I am You, You are I.

Body and mind quite similar to that of you and I
but also quite similar to the strength of steel and speeds quicker than the human eye...not quite like you and I.

Finds faith and a place in the heavens close to the horoscopes
like cancer and Scorpios 
just searching the stars to know his fate like you and I
but often above the earth dining with the Libra and Gemini
on feasts known only to him but never to you and I.

Feels pain and tears he cries 
in sorrow and hollow times 
just quite like you and I.
But speeding bullets deflect off his back as he strikes a genoflect
and wipes the tears of his face and embraces the S engraved on his chest
...not quite like you and I. 

So calm, collected and feared, 
adored, respected, revered
as human as I with as many flaws as you and I combined.
He races through the walls and ravages through them all
and cleans up leaving the dust in the air but no quite like you and I.

A man with a heart that loves, who puts reason before he speaks
taller and stronger than you and I 
but leaves no one kneeling at his feet.

He's known yet so discreet. His identity's a bitter sweet.
To let out his truth would be to give in to his powers and be consumed.
The ultimate defeat.

The only power and speed that matches his is his, not yours and mine
Thats why he often walks in times where he could easily fly.
And shares your tears in times when you break down and cry.

He knows he's all alone with no place to go or call home.
He cant feel the heat or freeze out in winters blistering cold.
He'll always be here, the story will always be told.

The man of Steel, with the unbreakable heart of Gold
