Jupiter
You're volatile. Elements and asteroids are your friends. I've seen lightning shudder in fear. Friction and static surround you and so do all of your eclipses. You've got the ego the size of a planet. I've handled your fury for longer than I should. Satellites obey your whims. Gravity orbits your flaws. You have enough selfishness to outlast us both. You've struck down your competition and played both sides of the field. You're spontaneous and I've grown to loathe it. I always circle back no matter how cruel, no matter how aggressive, no matter how shackled I truly am. You want to be free but you can't get rid of me. You're no philosopher, you're a miscalculation. You're no secret admirer, just a seeker of validation. I can't hold you back, I can't hold you down. You need your freedom but I will never have mine
