Icarus

You know me as a reckless person;
I'm also called naive...
incompetent, childish, impatient,
and greedy - some believe.

I dare oppose such strong opinions,
for I am not to blame.
Had you been walking in my sandals,
you would have done the same.

I had no voice the day that chances
defined how planets must align.
My choices are a mere illusion
embedded into the design.

Should heavens feignly make exceptions
and drag me out of sorrow bane,
without a moment's hesitation
I'd walk the path again... again...
