Self Determination, by Icarus

Self Determination

It’s never free

There is always a cost

Self determination

Casting off the yoke

Letting go of the world

Free from others condemnation

You are free to pursue

Your own course of action

Whether moth to flame Or drawn in like fly to shit You captivate me

I want you Out of my head Out of my heart I want your memory To leave me be

In the street. Pensive glares pregnant with meaning. Imagined Memories. Greetings between Former lovers wrenched

Easy to lament Greatness touched and then gone bu… Few taste it at all
