Sometimes
I wish I could
disappear
into the great beyond.

Sometimes
I feel it would be better
to escape to
the cosmos.

Sometimes
I want to fly away,
far away,
in a rocket ship
so I could visit the stars.

Visit firey balls of gas that burn so hot they force atomic change.

Fly away,
many galaxies away,
in a rocket ship
so I could visit new planets.

Fly away,
far away
from here.

This is truely
the loneliest
planet.

This is truely
the loneliest
galaxy.

This is truely
something I imagine
leaving.
Sometimes.

With a fish bowl
on my head,
and tin foil
on my arms,
my hands graze the carefully labelled controls:
Handle with care.

Because
sometimes
I wish I could
escape
in a rocket ship,
fly far away,
far away
from the
loneliest
place.

Because
sometimes
I wish I could
be happy
again.
