I flew too close to the fire
I burnt my wings
I fell into the pit
Battered, choked, Crushed
Silenced by the heat
Squished and still
I burned through the fat
And into the muscle
Screaming in terror
Running through the abyss
At the bottom of the lake
Staring up
Tripping on sobriety
Broken and spent
Weakened and still
Undefeated
