Ad astra
Latin for to the stars
something that we've never done yet
but we've gone near.
We've never gone to the stars
we've reached the not-quite-emptiness that surrounds them.
We've jumped up to reach the chance
but never got close to brushing our fingers across its surface.
Ad astra
is like a promise
it promises what we could reach
what we can reach
just not quite yet.
Orange pen
curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page
fulfilling my orders
moved by my hand.
Orange pen
flying, soaring, leaping
dancing across the page
Are you aware
what you did?
For the third time?
Once again?
Do you know
how I feel?
Ignored
overlooked
how come?
How come you didn't put in my effort?

open to this the first chance I get
