The Hesitant Astronaut

I was told

That the sky was the limit

But I that should reach for the stars

Because if I failed at least

 I would land on the moon.

I was told

To wish upon a shooting star

And to keep my eyes turned skyward

Because space was the last frontier

And one day I would reach it.

I was told. I was told.

And there was a time that I believed

All those clichés and half assed comments.

 I’m not so sure anymore.

Because there is still so much I have not

Seen right here on the ground.

Space is the mistress that

I used to dream of…

But

I have found pleasures here on Earth

That she could never gift me.

Once upon a time

I would have given anything

To leave this atmosphere

But today I finally see 

That I’d much rather stay here.

Where I can admire the stars from afar

And have the ones I love by my side.
