space

i know i take up space
i am overly conscious that i take up too much space

i hate taking up so much space
i look and i know i take up so much space

but i wish i was space
the universe, space

i wish my body held the stars,
the planets and galaxies

in that beautiful way
that the universe does

the beautiful way
that everyone loves

the space that holds galaxies
that are inked onto skin

the space that holds the stars
wished upon each night

the space that continues on
and continues to continue on

maybe i love space so much
because i am jealous

of how beautifully space
continues to exist

when my space is a problem
i have conditioned to hate

maybe one day i will love my body
the same way i love the galaxy

and maybe one day i will love my space
the same way as i love the one above
