Superpower

Many people have often asked me, "If you could have one superpower, which one would you want?" For the longest time, I could not determine my favourite. I couldn't even determine what was classified as a "superpower." Maybe the superpower of consuming pizza? Is that a superpower? Could I grasp the power of endless pizza eating? I began to think about. Quite deeply actually. My thoughts consumed me so well that I began even dreaming about it. Finally something clicked! My dreams. I would dream this same amazing experience over and over. A dream that would bring me places higher than ever before. So I came to a confident conclusion. Which superpower would bring the most pleasure to my life? My answer: The power to fly. The power to fly higher than the clouds. The power to fly into space and play with the stars. The power to fly to the top of a mountain and strum my guitar into the echoing depths below me, just because I can. The power to hoist myself away from society, away from everything, just to get past the brutality of our planet. The power to say that "I am as free as a bird."
