i could try to be happy
anyone could try to be anything
i could be an astronaut
who flies to the sky
and hold onto the stars

you could be the person who saves me
from plummeting to earth
instead you grasp my hand
tightly
and push me towards the moon
leaving me there alone
and still sad

alone upon the universe
i ask it
how 'shall i live my life
being here, in nothingness
though in the nothingness
is everything
and all you need in life
is yourself
and a spark of joy
to keep you going

the question
finally answered.
