I could fly<br />When I was younger<br />I flew up<br />to my dreams <br /><br />Why did I stop<br />The way I flew <br />Was never really <br />Going to be sustainable<br /><br />How did you fly<br />I would work hard<br />Harder than I should have<br />I thought I could fly forever<br /><br />I can't fly anymore <br />I put my work<br />Before myself<br />Before my mental health<br /><br />I stopped<br />Before it killed me<br />That probably saved me<br />From myself<br /><br />Please understand<br />I wanted to fly higher<br />But I knew I was never<br />Going to be able to survive that way<br /><br />I was able to fly <br />when I was younger<br />Stopping that stopped me<br />From becoming an Icarus<br /><br /><u> </u><br />THEODORE MCLAIN is a freshman pursuing a Baccalaureate in Political Science, and minors in Psychology and Legal Studies.
