Description I've always dreamed
of something greater
something more than
getting up,
going to work,
going to sleep,
only to do it all over again
a life on repeat
with no change.

I've always dreamed
of adventure and exploration
through the stars
through time,
through space,
a kind of life
that means so
much
more.

I've never really
felt like I truly
belonged in a world
so filled with
routine;
a mundane
sort of lifestyle
that I can never see
myself living. Being happy with.

I fear growing old
because I want to be
remembered for who I am
not who I was
long ago.
I fear exiting life
not truly as myself
but as a shadow of
what I once was.

That scares me
more than anyone
can ever know.

Perhaps someday
the characters who
I've dreamed about;
longed for in the depths
of my heart,
a hollow feeling when I wake
that is hard to quench,
will take me away
on a journey through the stars

for

something

greater.

me
That's why I want to be a detective/possibly an FBI agent. Something new every day (hopefully). It might be dangerous but hey it's not like I really wanna live to a ripe old age LOL.
This is actually really great.
you don't have to use huge words nobody's even heard of before to write good poetry.
to me, the best poetry just . . . gives off emotion.
'Cause like . . . I want to connect with people and poetry helps me get a vague (or sometimes clear) understanding of how someone's feeling. Idk. I like poetry.
