Icarus!

The higher we fly the further we fall.

It can be so fun earning your wings.

It can also take all of our favorite things.

 

I would rather stay grounded just knowing i flew.

We all have a choice.

Now tell me do you?

 

I flew so high.

I fell so hard.

I no longer have wings because they were charred.

 

I flew to close to the sun.

Just trying to have fun.

I burnt my life up.

Yeah i think i am done.

 

I caused much harm.

I caused much pain.

I thought i had fun.

Yet nothing was gained.

 

I now stay grounded.

I picked myself up.

I value my past.

With no knot in my gut!
