All of the stars are jagged.
I tried to reach out to them
But it hurts too much.
It nearly blinded me, set me aflame.
I was suffocating.
They tried to help but they're not the cure.
As much as I gaze in awe at the patterns,
I couldn't get close.
I need another planet
so I can get my bearings right.
Now I'm stumbling
Among the galaxies.
I'm pretty much lost.
And I'm still burning.
I can't shake it away.
