Requiem for a hero

Here I sit, getting fat.
One more day passing just like that.
Did I really once save the day?
Looking at me now, it's hard to say.

"Man of steel!" they used to call me.
"Give us a feel!" girls taunted daily.
Did I really once save the day?
Looking at me now, one cannot say.

Soon I will be gone, time waits for no man.
Super strength cannot defend - against the Reaper's demands.
Did I really once save the day?
Looking at me now, what's left to say...
