Make a Wish

The day starts like any other
I take a breath then another
My feet are firmly on the ground

I can't help but turn to the skies
The tether of my mind unties
My head is swirling all around

Now I'm way up in the stars
I catch my breath halfway past Mars
My eyes are full of crystalline light

But I feel my body being pulled
A force of supernatural
I thrash and fight with all my might

Heart keeps beating like a drum
Feel my fingers going numb
The empty shell of my body floating I'm
Trapped in silky spiderwebs of fear
Feel my demise drawing near
My broken mind stuck in a vacuum of time

My aching body drips sweat
I don't quite feel safe just yet
I know there's something dark still lingering
But the cosmos all around me
Still manage to astound me
Though my hands familiarly start tingling

But what if this thing I hide
This desperation I feel inside
This fear of going insane
The constant pounding in my brain
Is just another fabrication
A product of my isolation
And all of it is just another lie

That I've sculpted with my own hands
A never ending cycle under my own command
That I'm not strong enough to break
That I can only face when I'm awake

I'm falling now from outer space
With teardrops clinging to my face
I'm passing overhead with a swish

My broken body, mind, and soul
Broken parts becoming whole
A shooting star, so make a wish
Make a wish.
