“They say”

they say “shoot for the stars”

so from the ground,

shoot.

but pick the wrong gun and you’ll

miss.

they say “just keep swimming”

so swallow,

dive headfirst.

but once their currents turn storms you’ll

drown.

but not long sitting lone in the rust

you’ll see the stars

you placed unreachable

and those storms are of

your own

to feel the Sun

I turn

and say

I.
