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!
Icarus was a minor Greek legend, The First man to take flight and fall as well! Many consider him a fool for not listening to his father and letting pride take control over him but for me Icarus has always been a legend! The Mighty Soarer above the sky that wanted to break human bounds and conquer the sky! Here's a tribute to Icarus and here's a Kudos for the Icarus within all us!
