There Are Times I Feel Like Aquaman

There are times I feel like Aquaman
Caught between two worlds
Never fully accepted by either
Called to serve yet never the desired

There are times I feel like Aquaman
Calls going out to the likes of Batman or Superman
Regulated to the bottom tier
Not expected to be anything important

There are times I feel like Aquaman
Loved by a wife and a son
Staying faithful despite others' notions
Swimming deep within the sea


There are times I feel like Aquaman
And I am thankful
Thankful to be a citizen of one world
While serving the other I live in

There are times I feel like Aquaman
Floating in the ocean, surrounded by the stars
Realizing how vast the world is
And how small we are

There are times I feel like Aquaman
Unwanted king of a forgotten city
Keeper of the seven seas
Protector of the shore

There are times I feel like Aquaman
My orange and green suit, my trident in hand
There is more to me then they think
The unexpected hero
