You walk with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Crawling here...
Stumbling there...
Making a mess, just about everywhere...


At night you look up at the cosmos.
Watching the stars, shining down brightly on you.
You think to yourself of all the things that you've been through.
Replaying each memory of the times you've lived through.


You don't seem to be able to see it.
You don't seem to be able to believe it.
But the stars that you keep watching at night, sees a beautiful soul that is surrounded by a light that shines so bright.


You envy them... The stars in the sky.
You want to be them, to shine bright and to be admired.
But you don't seem to be able to see, that within you resides a light admired by the stars that you envy, that you keep watching at night.


Beautiful soul, don't be so sad.
The scars that you have, prove every battle you've won.
Don't compare and dull your own shine, just so you can be the same as any other star.
Embrace the beautiful soul that you are, as we are all unique and you deserve to shine just as brightly as the stars you envy in the sky at night.

Benjamin...
god that name...
runs through my head all day until I fall asleep and I get to see you in my dreams...
floating through the cosmos...
I don’t know...
just the way we’re alone...
nothing between us....
stardust on your fingertips...
intertwining your fingers...
so close to me...
feels so real...
the way your heartbeat sounds in the dead of space...
the way your warm breath hits my neck...
in the chilling cold of the cosmos...
just... the way you’re there...
feels so real...
we’re so close...
I wake up and...
there it is again... that name...
Benjamin...
I helped chose Atlas as your middle name because an Atlas is a type of map...
and I knew if I ever got lost...
you’d help me find my way....
pull me out of the deep space and back into the galaxy...
vibrant and bright...
you made my black and white perspective bring color in my life...
so amazing... that it makes me... contemplate...
thank you.

She had two lovers-
the sun and the moon who fought
so hard for her heart

If you
ask the stars,
they will tell you
that I won't shut up.
Indeed,
I wish upon them
every night,
wishing for you.
air is growing thin
as I float off the ground
the dreamers finally awake
now nothing holds me down

wandering into space
passing the atmosphere
seems my perspective
is too cavalier

running out of oxygen,
breathing goes slow
my dewy eyes reflect the stars,
like a canvas of Van Gogh's

I hear vibrations
this is my castle past the sky
where no-one asks how,
and I never wonder why

my body grows numb
as I float past stars
through my veins,
flows my liquid heart

peace like a wave
rushes over me
laying on this cosmic foam
it gets hard to breathe

I shed a tear
and then another arose
soon I was surrounded with these crystals
as each drop froze

with no gravity,
my walls collapsed
loosing all feeling,
I couldn't react

a syrupy smile spread
across my softened face
so do not be concerned
if you see a girl floating in space
would you join me? or would you rather stay grounded on Earth? why? tell me in the comments
