Once
I knew nothing of the world
So I picked up a little boys dream
And aspired to become an astronaut
8 years I trained
And wished that my dream
Would evolve into reality
And one day it did
Reality hit me like a bomb
For what I had gotten into,
Was 18 years in that spaceship
And in that time
My eyes witnessed things unimaginable
Supernovas, Black holes
And burning rocks falling to earth
My knowledge began to grow
And I was no longer young and ignorant
But my time in the light was almost over
It was time to go home
and there was still so much i didn't know
So I jumped out of my space ship
And learned the way of the stars
I danced on the rings of Saturn
And rode on comets until they evaporated away
The universe became my friend
So she gave me her biggest secret
It sat in my palm
And I feared it
But curiosity was always my downfall
So I peeked
The knowledge flooded me like a broken dam
I had everything
And yet I had nothing
Nothing to work for
Or gain
...
Now that I had everything
There was nothing to live for
So I didn't
