I didn’t find Marisa attractive
I didn’t like her hair colour
I sometimes felt like hating her
But she’s not that bad and I
Indulge in her hobbies and groups
Learning to get over my prejudices
As I pray for her salvation.

HAUNTED BY AN EX
I loved him before but I bothered
Him a lot, he lost his privacy
Even if I still wanted him but
We broke up and I feel haunted
By him even as I pray for him.
THE BOY
He lost his mother and pet
He got hazed and bullied
In the university he studied
With nobody else to befriend
Feeding animals he’s allergic to
Waiting for God to give him a friend.
Wishing you well
I sometimes hated him
I wanted to curse him
I cursed him before
But I prayed for him
Hoping God’ll get him
If something bad happens
Wishing him well as it strikes.
Escaping hell
Sometimes I loved him
Sometimes I don’t as
I can’t connect to him
Annoyed by what he
Does but I pray for him
Hoping he’ll go to God.
Surviving a breakup
I kept on contacting him
That I still want him but
He rejected my advances
He doesn’t want me anymore
I feel so lonely again and I
Wish we’d get back together.
DISTINCTIONS
I have problems with James Olsen, one for being interchangeable with others and that he’s just a token black sidekick stereotype. I suppose if he was a hardworking but harried black rookie journalist (with albinism) who looks after his orphaned brother, that would’ve improved his presentation a lot.
But the flaw here is that he might become too independent for his own good he’s obviously not a superhero and can’t always be there for either Supergirl or Superman. Supergirl can go on with her other friends, Jimmy’s mostly stuck with what’s left of his family. At this point, it would be cruel to call him ’emo’ because he only has one surviving family member.
Crueler still if you also insult him for having a defect and how Conner feels so strongly about being brought up by a relative who doesn’t look like him at first. Alternatively speaking, the only way they’ll get away with him if he’s based on a real life journalist like Mr Anaman (or Mr Sevareid and Gareth Jones). Either way, it’s a matter of firmly establishing his voice from the start.
