on the days it's hard not to scream


I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high
and like Icarus I collide with a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
To turn away and not become another nail to pierce the skin of one who loved
More deeply than the oceans,
More abundant than the tears of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and the water flow
