Icarus

Icarus

I have been proud

I have been proud
I have considered myself wise
I have thought that I was
Far above
The failures of others
I have not known myself
As fully as I have projected
As fully as I have declared
I have demanded of others
What I could not perform
This is my great hypocrisy
That I have called down damnation
On hypocrisy and been a hypocrite
I have said know yourself
But
I have lived in
Ignorance

The Callous

It didn’t happen all at once The stress of impact And the heat of friction Combined Has a natural result
What am I hoping for?

One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up
