Perfection's Pursuit
November 24, 2015
I've made mistakes
I've fallen down
But I got back up
Look where I'm standing now
On a mountain top
Far above the clouds
Reaching for Heaven's ceiling
But its a long fall down
Can I make the jump?
Or will I miss my point?
The fear surrounds me
It could make me faint
My body's taunt
This could end my life
I remember what Icarus taught
As I take flight
The wind hits my face
Only for a second though
As I collide into
The Tower of Babble
As I fall down
I realize my fate
When I hit the ground
I'll be at heaven's gates.

Beautiful Suicide... Even though suicide isn't really the answer. But, it's a graceful depiction of it.
Reaching perfection through human means is impossible, but we can still try right?
