She lives amongst the stars
Thoughts are galaxies away
It’s safe up there so they say
Eyes like shooting stars
Fly across her sky
Glances of belittlement, pity, judgement
Soar fast across her sky
Silently dimming their twinkling lights
Mindless carefree flowing thoughts
The ones they say her galaxies are made off
Are laced with unseen meteors of doubt, uncertainty, worry…
Meteors that leave craters as big as the moon
In her “perfect” galaxy
Sleep is blurred by the constellations of anxiety
Her favorite ones are imperfection, failure, loneliness
Beautifully woven, tangled and outlined
Family.. friends…. lovers…
Intertwine and form the lines - connecting
These celestial masterpieces.
The stars in her wide brown eyes never dim
Shinning bright, giving off an aura of warmth and light.
They see a girl- a daydreamer
As Orion’s belt wraps around her waist tight.
Binding her to this utopia they say she created.
Head in the clouds girl
Oh how I want to be you … they say
To inhabit this wonderfully created planet you live in
Called La la land
Visit if you dare she says…
