I keep trying to reach the stars but they keep pushing me back down.
I was meant to stay on Earth.
I keep trying 
To get back to Earth 
But the clouds 
Fight to keep me afloat
I was meant to 
Traverse the heavens
I keep trying To swim to the shore But the waves Keep dragging me back in
I was meant to Be lost at sea
I keep trying To dance between planets But the galaxy Is not my home
I was meant to Go beyond space itself.
I keep trying
To write your poem
But the words
Are not my own
I was meant to
sit in silence
I keep trying to forget her verse but my thirst is terrifying I was meant to die in this desert
