Pluto - Poem

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
