On Mars, Laughing
I want to grow.
I want to bloom.
I want to rise.
I want to step into something larger.
I have tried running. I have tried working. I have even tried begging.
I have tried education, discipline, devotion—all of it.
And every time I take stock
I find myself tracing the same orbit,
circling the same coordinates,
wearing a path around the life I meant to outgrow.
So I close my eyes
to see what a blooming me looks like
and before I know it—
I am on Mars,
light on my face,
laughing inside the silence,
taking in the view

Thank you for taking this trip with me. I had fun. I hope you do too.
