I want to be a meteor
\nto fly past the sun
\nwhile no one is watching.
\nTo be admired by scientists, friends and family.
\nTo travel fast and shine above the whole world.
\nAnd not to be left forever floating in the deep dark void of outer space.
\nTo not encounter Jupiter or even go near it, to fight all the odds and to change anything.
\nSo forget about the bad day you have had,\u00a0 look up and see me flying past earth giving you a little shimmer on my way past.
\nI 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.
\nI want people to not look at me and not crowd me<\/p>\n
I just want my friends.
