when I grow up
This world can't contain me
It can't control me
My dreams are bigger than
anything you can imagine
I dream of life beyond our existences
Beyond our experiences
My spirit has already left my body
It is searching the galaxy
For our meaning and purpose
My eyes dazed over
Because my mind is no longer there
My mind is doing the math of how long
I will have to stay in this exponential body
My body lethargic
Because in my mind, I am on a distant planet
With little to no gravity
Jumping, leaping and bounding
Across terrain never explored
Documenting every new find
In my mind
And touching every rock
With my hands
My spirit no longer searching
For the thing that completes me
I always knew
I knew that I never belonged to this planet
I was always extraterrestrial
The life of eating packet food
Is not glorious but it completes me
I am an explorer
Through and through
