 Sometimes I wish I was a star.

A furious heat travelling light years just to kiss your face.

A warmth that lingers on your skin even after my death.

Sometimes I wish I could live past my own mind.

Escape this body that I've been trapped in.

Touch the people around me that I haven't even met yet.

You look up to the sky and say, "What a time to be alive."

I watch the stars with envy.

When they collapse people study them in awe.

I wish I collapsed in such a beautiful way,

Becoming a nebula, a cloud of dust,

or a black hole, an inescapable place.

Instead I'm left to decay and rot.

There is nothing beautiful about my death,

my destruction, my collapse.

I am not a star.

You do not watch me in awe.
