THE BARRY POET WAS JUST UNCALLED FOR (please expand on it)
LOOK JUST! IMAGINE 10 YR OLD BARRY ALLEN WAITING AT THE FUNERAL FOR HIS RELATIVES TO SHOW UP! 10 YR OLD BARRY ALLEN WHO CRIES HIMSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT AND TRIES CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT THE FAMILY ARE JUST LATE! A BARRY WHO KNOWS, INTIMATELY, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ABANDONED IN YOUR BIGGEST TIME OF NEED!
A BARRY ALLEN WHO TAKES ONE LOOK AT WALLY WEST AND RECOGNIZES THE SIGNS OF SOMEONE WHO HASN’T BEEN GIVEN AS MUCH LOVE AS HE SHOULD HAVE! A BARRY WHO MEETS JASON AND TIM AND FEELS HIS HEART ACHE IN A FAMILIAR PAINFUL WAY!
A BARRY ALLEN WHO KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE LEFT BEHIND, SO HE REFUSES TO “GIVE UP” ON ANYONE! BARRY ALLEN, WHO SEES HOW LOST AND CONFUSED NEW LEAGUER’S ARE WHEN THEY FIRST JOIN UP, BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW ANYONE HERE OR WHERE ANYTHING IS, AND IMMEDIATELY OFFERS TO HELP THEM!
A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD SPEEDSTER WHOSE STILL CONVINCED, DEEP DOWN, THAT NOBODY WANTS HIM BUT, DESPITE THIS, CLINGS TO EVERY FRIENDSHIP HE’S MADE LIKE A LIFELINE BECAUSE HE FIGHTS TO BE POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC!
