I would like to be Captain America
But I’m not that brave.
Not at all.

Thor is too strong.
How would I carry his hammer?
I wouldn’t.

Batman is pretty cool.
But, bats scare me.
A lot.

Being the Hulk would be fun.
Although I don’t want green skin.
Gross.

I would like to be Spiderman.
Except spiders scare me, too.
Even more than bats.

Maybe I should just find the hero
in me.
