I thought my mind contained a galaxy
so I cracked it open. Could you imagine my surprise
when the only thing that happened was that I bleed.
I thought my eyes were portals
so I stared into oblivion.
All I gained was a headache
I thought my mouth was a black hole
******* everything into its abyss.
I got sick
I thought my skin was space.
My freckles planetary.
I thought I was a universe
I very well could be.
