Like Icarus & Lucifer I Failed


They had confidence. They feared no consequence. They had no idea it was about to happen. But me, I did nothing and it had everything to do with my joy & laughing. All, I had to do was homework but I was lazy. And before I knew everything went crazy. Like Icarus & Lucifer I had pride. And most of the homework I chose to deride. But my difference is I can change my mistake. Lucifer & Icarus must spend eternity faced with consequences of risks that only take. Lucifer was an angel & Icarus had wings. They believed their abilities superseded all things. It’s good to have confidence but pride is a sin. It’s the ability to withhold your pride that makes you a great person within. So yeah, like Icarus & Lucifer I failed. So now I’m going to succeed by breaking out of the laziness in which I’ve been jailed.
