You Flew Me to the Moon, Now What?

Well, you flew me to the moon
And then we played among the stars
You showed me what spring is like on
Jupiter and Mars

But now I know
Can’t you see?

But now I know
Just let me be

Bring me back to Earth and I will
Mourn forevermore

The vast expanse is calling me
So much beauty
To explore

For now I know
Please don’t fear

For now I know
I love it here

Fill my head with dreams
Let me touch the brightest star

It might feel like miles away
But I’ll never
Be too far

    Of the pain my body makes
    And I will not be offended
    If there’s not a part of you that aches

    Dear Body

    I’m sitting in my bio class
    Learning all about you
    I think we need to have a chat
    Since, you don’t do what you’re supposed to

    Did you know
    when tissues tear
    You’re supposed to fix yourself?
    You have the way to repair
