Cosmos and I

I am not going to stay as the same person forever
Just like everybody else around me
Times change, people change
But what scares me is my ability to change and change back to the old version of me
As if all the lessons I have learnt that always only go in vain
As though the people I have met haven't taught me lessons well enough,
or that they weren't hurtful or wise enough
Sometimes I am done with everything
With everyone
I want to escape this place and go somewhere no one knows my name
I want to start anew and not go back to my old habits
I want to forget certain things about me wilfully and never be reminded of them, ever
I want to pursue my hobbies, my passions, turn them into the only love I will ever know
I would like to live alone and feel lonely at the rarest of times
Because I want to feel all kinds of feelings there may exist
I want to have more time for myself, spend nights dreaming about the tangible cosmos,
Talk to the stars and share our wishes and dreams out loud
I sometimes dream about shooting straight into the night sky from here
And drift in the endless cosmic space
right then I would have more time to think and more space in my head and my head in space
I would make friends with rocks that are yet to have life evolve on them
Or better yet, no life , no mess
Just plain space and I
And the other existential things surrounding us
Nothing to that could bother us
No one that could disturb my state of mind
I would carry all my knowledge and memories with me to wherever I drift away
I would feel no regrets, no pain for the world
I would be in my best state of mind
Afterall I am only me when I am alone.
