All alone
At the edge of the universe
Humming a tune
"You've got 10 minutes of oxygen left."
10- I allow myself to cry finally. Floating in the middle of nowhere, detached from everything as I hover by stars. Stuck in space. Alone.
9- It feels shameful to cry now. I was told the risks wasn't I? I should've been prepared for this. Crying is for people on earth. And I'm not on earth.
8-Maybe I could be rescued before I run out of air? Yeah. Someone will realize I'm missing and save me. That's how it works in movies at least.
7- That's ridiculous, no one is coming for me. I'm going to die here. No one is going to remember me and I'll be forgotten. Forgotten before I reach Mars.
6- I've tried to deny that I'm going to die here. The thought of my lifeless body floating through space will no longer be a thought soon.
5- I'm really going to die. I'm going to die and not come home. My best friend won't remember who I am. My little sister at my funeral. Will they even realize I'm gone?
4- I've accepted it.
3- mentally I say my goodbyes. They might be able to hear them.
Even through space.
2- Suspended in space.
It feels like flying
But maybe
We're dying
1- Some stories continue, some authors keep writing, but mine was never destined to be finished. Goodbye earth. I never deserved this ending.
Higher than the sun
Invisible to some
Until it's time
