You sought the sun, you were ambitious.
How awful was it to reach the clouds and Remember your waxen wings Icarus?
**
You feared the sun, so you skimmed the sea
But how could you forget my child?
There are two ways to ruin wings
This story always gives me chills.

What are you waiting for?
Life changers, society shakers
Don't need to wait for something more

Strike that match and start a fire
One that catches in everyone's hearts
One that lives to inspire

Don't wonder any longer
Just jump and ***** the warning label
You were ALWAYS stronger

Bold colors fade, not disappear
Bright lights go out,
Long before their glow clears

Let the next generation
Grow up in a world where they
Never knew the absence of your creation
Let your mark on the world be something wonderful and stop withholding it!

celesti
being with you
felt like
being icarus.

only
if icarus had stayed at the sun
and stared it
in the face.

you were
my sun
but
you burned
my wings off.

and so i plunged
deeply
into space
with my head
on the brink

of explosion.

Am I only safe
If I'm all alone or if
the world allows it?

Do boundaries mean
a thing when you don't care and
I can't enforce them?  

Some say yes, the rest wish they could
But they already took that bet and lost
I had just started living in my first ever big city when I wrote this, can anyone tell? ._.

You keep me at arm's length
Knowing if you stumble
Knowing if you crumble
I'm not there to give you strength

You won't give me your all
Living with the fear
that if you let me near
I'd let you down, and let you fall

But I can't give up and can't give in
So I hope and pray
For a coming day
When you'll be ready to let me in
It's funny for you can write a poem for someone else and for you at the same time. How sometimes you're the waiter and sometimes you're the broken one

=====
Writing makes it real
So others understand, but
Maybe real is worse

Maybe I shouldn't give my misery
Anymore company
