Ad Astra

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.

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

  • Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
