Did You Know
Did You Know
Did you know
It’s a 13-meter descent
Into my brain
And there are no ropes or footholds
I find myself
Lost
Alone
Stuck in the well
Sometimes
Did you know
My heart is 5 pounds and 27 inches around
It’s so big and heavy in my chest
All of the time
I find myself
Loving
Hurting
Overloaded with the weight
Often
Did you know
The distance between who I was and who I am is not as much as the distance between who I am and who I want to be
But yesterday I still walked
27 miles closer to myself
I find myself
Running
Stumbling
Hitchhiking through my growth
Everyday
Did you know
That we are made of stars
The universe made us
And there is another universe within us
I find myself
Searching
Exploring
Learning every planet and constellation
Always
