Wings of Lead

Ignorance of Icarus
Is not the reason why
I unswervingly and stubbornly
Imagined I could fly

With compliments of helium
I rose above my rank
And lavished in the novel view
Until my fortunes sank

Humbled and deflated
I fell out of the sky
I came to see that girls like me
Were never meant to fly
