“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”-Albus Dumbledore


I just want to be in space

Where the only company is the stars

Because all of the thoughts I bottle up

keep breaking free from their jars


Let me soak up the darkness

I know the void is the only place

I do not and cannot hurt

And the stars melt the sorrow from my face


Can I fly away in a rocket?

Takeoff takes me further and further away

The place that has never felt like home

For freedom, isolation is the price I pay


I ache to dance with the stars

No longer will deep cutting insults be sung

Shielded; bright lights are my barrier

I’m focused on the stardust that fills each lung


My own personal black hole

No one will notice I’m gone from home

My screams buried beneath oblivion

In my lonesome, I can finally roam


I wish upon that shooting star,

My only flash of hope

To not see my true home

Solely from a telescope
