Body of Lies Wolfman the Middle

Living in the wild
walking circles trying to find
a place to lay his head
where the night would ease his mind. 
Not of this world
lost in a silent dimension
Like an adolescent boy
beyond his comprehension. 
He is superhero undergoing
transformations
Confused at his purpose in life
born with no invitation. 
A hollowness inside growing
faster than the wind
Like cancer eating rapidly
No medicine can mend. 
Silent so not to cause
any public fear. 
Screaming inside
because he's so sincere. 
Trapped in a body
nowhere left to run
Longing for a freedom
He isn't certain can be won. 
Entering into a 
territory of fear
Holding onto faith
That the next phase of life is near. 
Peace overcomes him
as the night envelops his heart.
No idea where he is going
and not scared to soon embark.
