"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." -Socrates


You beautiful tragedy
Trapped in fragility
The essence of life
A drop of water
You fear will tear at your wings
Though you no longer fly

 

The thought of freedom
Must terrify you
For you are the only color
In your ashen cage
You cannot face the thought
You are the only color
In the world

 

The ground begs for your chains
As if to be ensnared
Could quench a thirst
Yet the cure sits atop
The tears kissing dusty cheeks
And still
The earth cracks from screams

 

You beautiful tragedy
If only beauty
Were not so useless
