A Soul Among the Stars

In a world not made for souls like mine,

I wander lost amidst the crowds,

Dreaming of a spaceship to the vast unknown.

Labelled, yet never understood,

I seek a place where I belong,

A kindred spirit’s warm embrace.

Learning self-love is no easy path,

Society’s expectations weigh me down,

I’m not lazy, nor crazy, nor difficult.

I yearn for peace within my mind,

An overworked machine, constantly churning,

In search of calm, a gentle ease.

I am tired,

Of trying to fit in,

Of seeking those who understand,

Of navigating a world not designed for me.

I long to dwell among the stars,

Some say the vast unknown is frightening,

But maybe now they glimpse my world within.

Space,

Where silence reigns,

Where the unknown is welcome,

A haven of peace, the calm I crave.
