Random Leaf #2000 precisely cut IG

Please don't be too harsh.

I am also disappointed—

at myself.

People looked up at me;

they had big dreams for me.

This, too, made me dream—

so many, so grand.

Only to realize later on—

I'm not really cut out for any of it.

Much like Icarus—

the boy most free;

most beloved;

the one—

the very first to almost reach

ascendancy.

He became a twist

no one had hoped for,

and we all know how it went.

So I drink—

I drink to drown

this sorrow I feel.

And I drink just

to make sure

I keep my humanity.

For if I don’t,

I’m afraid—

I’d become a god.

Something I am sure of—

I was never cut out for.
