Once I was..
April 10, 2014
Once I was Icarus
I soared through the sky
I feared no evil
I saw no lies.
Once I was Echo
free and far better free
now a wasted breath
nobody wants to see
Once I was Achilles
brave and strong,
was hurt on my weak point
then I was gone
Once I was Ioa
happy and carefree
yet one event
made a beast of me.
