Hawk –
Like Icarus.
Flying too high.
Too close to the sun.
Feathers aflame.
Hollow bones be damned!
You have talons!
Sharper beak than most.
Own worst enemy.
Pride.
Ego.
An endless need to prove yourself.
Your worth,
To others.
You never had to –
In the first place.
Didn’t need to brag.
Just to be.
