Untitled sky poem
icarus
i fly to the sky, risking flying too close to the sun
risking falling back into the depths of the deep blue, for why?
because i have angels up here that I must see
God open your gates, it's me
open up. open up. please let my angels free
i need them.
i need them to see i've become everything they knew i could be
i need them to tell me how proud they are of me
please, God please, return them to me.
do i have to get on my knees and plead?
please. Oh God please, for I know they belonged to you before they belonged to me
But please God, they kept me from being there with you, you see
so I live for more than me, I live for mildred, reggie, larry sarah, dee dee
