My eyes dont look up often

I think maybe

The darkness of the sky

Day and night reminds me of what I cannot reach

The branches that grow just tall enough to trap

But never close enough to intertwine to become me

I gaze upward as if my neck craning towards the endless space

Yearns to escape

It does of course

But maybe not from our very world

Myabe just the body I call my own

The moon is full now

Ilumanting each flaw on humanity

I of course

Only see mine

the moon kisses the world goodbye

And the sun rises as if its golden glow

Will erase the burning in our eyes

It’s winter now

I’m afraid of looking, opening my eyes

I’ve lived an igonarant life

Until

One day fate or destiny

(I call it cruelty)

Knocked on my door

No

Seeped in through my cracks I was wishing to ignore

Falling

That’s what it felt like

Each day I was twisting down

Downward

And maybe I was afraid

To look upward

As if the distance that was pulling me apart

Was easier

Than loooking at a bare black sky
