Do not be mistaken,
nor clouded by the idea
that you know this heart,
know this mind,
know this soul,
simply by reading the
pencil lines brought
to my paper's edge.
Antiquated at best,
this argument of professors
fulfills only an
inflated sense of self.
Please, pack up your
belongings, and
forget the page,
the pencil,
the person,
and all.

Admittedly

Admittedly,
I too am Icarus
flitting in and around
the rays of the sun,
dabbling in chaos at the
edge of self-destruct
Ever-impudent in
flight
a lead is followed
that I cannot justify.
Pray my wax be steadfast
in design!
The path is already laid.
