365 Poems in 365 Days: More Heroes

A line from this poem (of mine) kept going around my head. If I hadn't already pressed Publish on that piece, this might be a second verse, but since I have, it's a new poem, riffing off some of the same ideas.  Go number 59.

All my heroes are dead
So now I'm free to ignore
Everything they may have said
Write my own life forever more.
