They call me selfish,
because I have no yearning to see the horizon.
I see everything at sea level,
hatred has no place here,
not when tsunamis devour everyone.
Yet I crave to caress the face of the sun.
To know her heat,
to discover her hums.
The chains binding me to the ground cut off my circulation,
enclosed around my neck.
I am trapped by the human aptitude.
Collared by the frustrations of my past.
I am a bird doomed to hit a window.
Unable to know what I cannot touch,
unable to know where I cannot go.
I touch the stars through my outstretched hand.
Divinity a reach away,
narrowly missing my fingertips.
I desire futility because it's easier to want everything.
Like the heavenly body,
and it's mellifluous songs,
than to gain an out of reach embrace,
a nonexistent hymn.
Because I am small and foolish
in both the eyes of you and me,
and the world at hand.
Not yet great enough for them to understand.
