I am Legend
My name intertwined with the pages
Of the oldest books on the
Dustiest shelves

I am Legend
Symbolic of a Hero
A long-since buried
Savior of millions

I am Legend
Whispering mothers tell
My deeds to their
Sleepy-eyed children

I am Legend

I am Hope and Love and Triumph

I am Melancholy and Suffering and Failure

I am Legend
And am
Seeking final
Absolution
Among
The
Perfect
Guiltless
Stars
