The Minotaur

Based off the mythological story of the minotaur

~

I stare and I stare

at the abundance of walls

detached from the air

isolating my eyes from any beauty

What is friend? What is foe?

their faces always the same

taunting the fury that is inside me

yearning for me to blow

If I could fall, I could fly

from what I know is true

though unsound I would risk

for both would set me free

Risking the black and red

for just a glimpse of the yellow

If I could fall, I could fly
from what I know is true.

Beautiful lines dear poet. Intelligent creation.

'If I could fall, I could fly'
My favorite line!
It just feels so powerful!
Well done!
