I am Icarus Falling

I am Icarus Falling

A Poem by Phantasmagoric Perceptions

I am Icarus- falling

Into oblivion below

Crashing into certain doom

And things I do not know

 

I flew on wings of wax

Then I began to melt

My whole life dripped away

Along with the love I'd felt

 

I am Prometheus- chained

Forced into suffering

Made to pay the price

As if it was all for nothing

 

Torn to pieces each day

But healing just enough

I am Prometheus chained

Bound by the ties of love

 

I am Echo- silent

Unable to escape

Not a word that I can say

To make this go away

 

I repeat what others say

Unable to speak on my own

I am Echo- silent

Made to live alone

Love the mythos involved with this and the comparisons you use. Great write. I am duly impressed.
