It feels kinda like I'm Pluto
Right on the outside of the galaxy
A little further away from everyone else
A little smaller in the eyes of everyone else
If you looked through a telescope I don't think you'd see me
Seems like everyone is slowly drifting away
Everything wants to be closer to the sun
And I once thought that I could be a sun
Burn bright enough for someone
To look at me
But it doesn't seem like anyone is
Now I'm not even a planet anymore
Not one with the rest
I'm something other
Something separate
Something desperate
For connection
But even in my absence I can do nothing right
Things I didn't know were things became problems behind my back
Texts rolling in like a machine gun attack
Am I going to say the right or wrong thing?
It feels like these friendships are held together by a string
Even if you've given them so many second chances that you don't even know what second chances are
All I can do is write poems
Trying to fill the void
And I can't tell if I am the void
or if I'm in the void
It all feels the same
You are alone
And you don't know who you are or what you are anymore
They took away your label as planet
Began to take away your name as well
What are you?
Who are you?
Alone
