I want to be in space and rush towards all the ethereal stars that I want to embrace.
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
I want to thank them for all the hope, that obviated my terrifying thoughts of dangling a rope.
For they were the ones who made me feel miniscule, in front of the universe, so old and abysmal. It may seem like a ridicule, but I think, for making me feel that way, they deserved a requital.
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
Hundreds and thousands of light years away is a star whose shine always finds a way to get me out of dismay, ergo keeping all my terrifying thoughts at bay.
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
For when you look at them you realise, how long their shine took to reach your premise. Some of them might still be stars while some of them might have collapsed into red dwarfs.
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
Looking at the vast expanding universe and at the archaic, dead stars, makes us realise how small we actually are.
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
They make me feel negligible, no, not like a humiliator, but in a way in which I feel like all my problems are quite small and actually manageable.

This poem was inspired from the following quote, from one of my favourite books 'The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time' by Mark Haddon.
☞ "And when you look at the sky you know you are looking at stars which are hundreds and thousands of light-years away from you. And some of the stars don't even exist anymore because their light has taken so long to get to us that they are already dead, or they have exploded and collapsed into red dwarfs. And that makes you seem very small, and if you have difficult things in you life it is nice to think that they are what is called negligible, which means they are so small you don't have to take them into account when you are calculating something."
