*Hey, guys, so this poem alludes to the story of Icarus, which, if you don't know, is Greek mythology. I strongly recommend looking it up before you read this. It's a good story and isn't too long. Anyway thanks for clicking on this book :) *

I flew too high
I knew it was too good to be true
But I craved the sky
So new, so blue

I flew too high
Like a fallen angel
You were the light, the sun
My feathers strangle and tangle

I fell from great heights
My wings are gone
The glue melted
My journey is done

I fell to great lows
I sink in the water with the fish
There's plenty
In the sea

I flew too high
I fell too hard

*Thank you again for reading! This is my first time sharing one of my poems so feel free to comment. I'm hoping to upload once or twice a week. I usually write poetry when I'm stressed, and I'm a freshman in college so what can a girl do 🤷🏼‍♀️? Haha anyway have a great rest of your week*
