Icarus

restless, jagged energy
lightning storms my brain
too much energy to contain
within the fragile shell of my skin
i leave it behind,
i am a bright shiny being of fire,
no longer contained, restrained
move move move
sing sing sing
fly fly fly
like a star going nova, burn bright white flight
like Icarus dancing to the height of the light
burn and crash, crash and burn
wings melt, dreams felt, pills dealt
burn and crash, crash and burn
groping for my pills i turn
amid the ashes alone and cold
nightmares and half memories
of flight limned in gold
etched into the stuff of my soul
