maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is that the only person who never saw this coming was me. maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is because my mother shook and cried as she strapped wax wings on me and said, “do not look at the stars” because she knew childish wonder would only **** me. maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is that i wish i had been that light, i wish i had been able to see those stars and really touch them. maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is because i’m a ******* tragedy but nobody seems to realize it except me. no one ever felt the fall quite like me. maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is because the only person i’ve ever disappointed is myself, my own ambition, my own dreams. maybe the reason i always call myself icarus is because i always feel like i’m falling.

i've been calling myself icarus as if i'll ever mean that much to anyone or anything
