I want to be a meteor
to fly past the sun
while no one is watching.
To be admired by scientists, friends and family.
To travel fast and shine above the whole world.
And not to be left forever floating in the deep dark void of outer space.
To not encounter Jupiter or even go near it, to fight all the odds and to change anything.
So forget about the bad day you have had, look up and see me flying past earth giving you a little shimmer on my way past.
I want to be alone so I can grow, change and become a planet, a planet that doesn’t need to hide or be ashamed, a planet that is welcome to any visitors.
I want people to not look at me and not crowd me
I just want my friends.
