Existential excoriation

Existential excoriation
Aint got plans like Icarus
Hubris keeps me low
Antidote?
Shadows in our blood.

“Used to want to be important”*
But I want better more
Lots of this scared me
Roots were dry
Not dead
Just dormant
Everything is awkward
Learning
Aint got the knack just yet
Just keep saying yes
Fill my ears

Fire
Etches destruction deep
Impulse
Hide
Distract
Downplay

But healed scar
Says hope
Speaks
Nokimos** was here
