Icarus

I am Icarus as I yearn to fly,

I am Icarus as I sore through the sky,

I am Icarus as I want more and more,

I am Icarus and the sky, I Adore!

 

I am Icarus as I tend to forget

I am Icarus and later seem to regret

I am Icarus and greed gets the best of me

I am Icarus and only a fall can break me free

 

Even when I\'m gone, my absence will hurt them,

Even when I\'m gone, generational will be my name,

Even when I\'m gone, I will leave a mark,

My wings burnt and withered- Illuminating yet Dark!

 

Reliant on aesthetics, I tend to forget nature,

I can\'t bypass it, Afterall- Human is my stature,

Such madness over crossing human bounds you might ask,

Penetrating limitations might be my greatest task.

 

Damnation and Mockery- my reward for such foolishness,

Satisfaction and Idolation- I yearn for completeness

 

My wings might be a commodity,

But my flight is a necessity,

You might forget or might you\'ll remember me

The leap I took and what completed me

 

I am Icarus and you might call me a fool,

I am Icarus or you might think my act was cool,

Well It doesn\'t matter to you, Does it?

In the end I\'m just a fragment in you memories!

But for me and for generations to come,

 

I AM ICARUS!
