Lead-Lined Life

I have a room in the Fortress of Solitude that no one knows about. It's a small room with lead-lined walls. There's nothing in there but a chair, but it's all I need. It's lined with lead because it means I can't see out. It means that I can't see all the pain and suffering I failed to stop. It means I can't see people hurting themselves in ways I can't save them from. A second for me is eternity for you. I could stay in there for years and when I emerge? Nothing will have changed except how you hurt each other. There are days I wish I had a lead-lined life.
