You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger

Not every cloud has a silver lining, The good guy doesn’t always have to win, That early bird often oversleeps and forfeits his breakfast, And sometimes the pot at the end of the rainbow is nothing more than Fool’s Gold. The world can be a cruel place, and let’s face it – not everyone is a Superman. Hell, even the “Man O’Steel” has his own weaknesses. We all have that fear – that heightened sense of intimidation when we can hear the hounds of failure clipping at our feet. If we each allow our proverbial kryptonite to annex the strengths we have worked so intently to perfect, what good is all that wasted effort? Unfortunately, sometimes it’s just too damn hard to hold on. The constant running and struggling to keep one step ahead of the game makes a weary mind and heavy heart. It seems that when the world is beating down on his chest and our Superman has nowhere left to run, that “S” becomes nothing more than a letter. When faith skips out and reality kicks in, we are left to our own devices in an almost Darwinian manner. “Kill or be killed,” they say. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would rather not be trampled by the masses. But this hero is a little too tired to don her red cape once again. So the question at hand: Does she succumb to her weaknesses, or fight to the death? Tune in next time, boys and girls. Same time, same channel.

There are certain kinds of people in this world hun, and I'm convinced that you're the kind that will defy what is wrong.
You're the kind of person who will continue to fight the good fight even when if they're unsure of they're own goodness and/or strength because somebody has to do it and you refuse to become the very thing you fought against for all these years. Yes you will stumble, but you shall never crumble.

Don't ever give up the ship.
Clouds have silver linings, but it's the beef in the middle we fear. But like the great ones say, it takes days of rain for the sun to warm you.

I like what you've mused here. You've shed a new light on common proverbs.
