Whats on my mind Poems

Fatal Flaw

I am my own worst enemy.
I wreak havoc on my own life.
I strike a match and then cry when it burns.
How do I stop the never-ending cycle of pain?
How do I stop the avalanche that is myself?
Can I be reborn from the ashes?
Or am I destined to continue living this self-made hell?

I am Icarus.
I fly too close to the sun and laugh as the wax burns my skin.
