He looks out Looks outside of himself Looks out at the mirage A world in which he is stuck Within the confinements of himself There are words he wants to say But are trapped between his cage of a mouth Words must be filtered and scattered and discarded Through his mind Like product in a factory In the end, all that comes out is a Frustrated cry, a swing of his arm and the confusion and a guilt-ridden apology afterward. But he sees the outside in a different light He sees it as a world outside of his own It's a planet that must be travelled to by space ship Luckily, He is an astronaut And he has people who believe in his rocket's take off.
