My body, mind, and soul are a solar system
Made up of hundreds of moons, millions of asteroids, and a multitude of planets
The depth of my composition largely unexplored
The restrictive nature of time and responsibility
mold me into conformity
hinder my ability to be all that I am
to explore every comet that runs through me
the momentum that pulses through my veins
In an ideal reality
I am every part of me at once
Effortlessly traveling through my own universe
In another universe, I am vulnerable
Each element that composes my core slowly
But so quickly
Stripped down
Exposing the most imperfect parts of myself
The instability of my orbit
A naked being floating across the universe
Proudly displaying my imperfections and mistakes
In another universe, my creativity is limitless
with each phase of the moon
I create something new
Leaving no medium unexplored
or canvas blank
My artistry flows freely
In another universe, my confidence radiates
my doubts cast aside
words freely flowing
like deep space drifting
I command the movement of the stars with my gravitational pull
In another universe, my inner child is let free
Untethered from skepticism, responsibility, or “thinking realistically”
the possibilities are endless
I dance amongst the stars
With my sisters in hand
and dogs by my side
My passions fuel my excitement for life
Leaving my mark on every forming star
No matter where I am in my universe
I can always return there
I will always be
a rebellious teenager sneaking out of her house
or a little girl glued to her books
a toddler picking flowers in her backyard
In another universe, I just exist
Like the gravitational force present on Jupiter
Time moves slowly
As do I
In my ideal universe
I can be every planet at once
I am every woman that is inside of me
Breaking free from the limitations of fear and time
that make us hide ourselves from the outside world
My body, mind, and soul are a solar system
Intricate, complex, constantly in motion
Deserving of exploration to their fullest depth
