Heartly Home

November 21, 2019 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

Home is where the heart is.

His is now gentrified.

he now enters his mind

all the time.
All this time

he’s been inside

he’s been Ben inside

Been frank-

with everyone he knows

Been 100.

How he’s been described

he’s been disguised.

Therefore, falsely identified

misinterpretations tint his eyes.

Fires dream to fly.

Fire in his eyes.

Hell bent to rise.

He’s meant to fly.

Despite the size of critics

he defies being defined and criticized.

He doesn’t play the victim.
Athough, his position tends to victimize

Believing he’s too special to be generalized.

Home is where he’ll sympathize.

Heart is what he’ll symbolize.
