Icarus

I am Icarus, drowning in the sea,

In this sea of mediocrity.

On the wings of opportunity i flew,

But after a mistake i did not think through

The jealous rays of the sun, scornfull of my pride,

Melted my wings, hoping i would fall to the ground.

Yet death’s restfull bliss

Evaded me, the Earth i missed.

Rather, i’m now stuck like this,

As if my fame did never exist.

Suffocated by everyday life,

Yearning, allways yearning for the sky.
