Whats not real cannot be lost
What is true cannot be false
What is learned cannot be retaught
For we all thought we could do it all
right before our prideful fall
What is good cannot be bad
What is taken cannot be had
What is shallow cannot be deep
For we all tried and risked it all
after our prideful fall
What is worthless cannot be dear
What is far cannot be near
What is right cannot be wrong
For we all did what we could do
to prevent our fate; our prideful fall
Great poem, Brie! I love the subtle references to the Icarus myth and the theme that pride goes before a fall.
