Icarus

I want this
I don’t want this
it’s my sickness
to keep or dismiss
My legs push towards the horizon line
that’s pushing back, trying to break my spine
If I grab that sun and I drink it’s fire
I’ll climb broken ladders just to take me higher
I want this
I don’t want this, the blood inside my ghost
It’s my sickness, to keep or dismiss, I know I know I know.
My marrow fights what it knows it needs
It’s in the words I speak, it’s in the air I breathe
But I’m terrified for these chains to leave
I want this
I don’t want this, the blood inside my ghost
It’s my sickness, to keep or dismiss, I know I know I know.
I took breath and
stole water
my body
towed under.
I can’t be that man no more.
I crave the sea so I’ll go to shore
When I go and I fall to the ocean floor
Know I flew and I found what I searched for.
