royal reflections

March 2, 2020 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

Ever since I fell
I’ve been unafraid to fail
everywhere I go-
I overcome,
I rise,
I do more than well
like ripe, lush fruits-
my potential swells
I’m a king!
unrecognized by most too blind to tell
but most comparisons pale
because Royalty,
only recognizes reflections of itself
