The inspiration for this post was chosen by you, the lovely readers! This Reader’s Choice is inspired by the words “vacant” and “planet” (there was a tie). I hope you enjoy!
Sitting here, on this vacant planet
I begin to wonder
if all my life was a lie.
If I ever truly saw the world
as the world saw me.
Was I truly going through life
awaiting the honor
that was sure to come?
I should have known
that in reality
I was a pawn;
being used to achieve a goal
that they had chosen for me.
I had no say
I was chosen for a mission
of supposed honor and glory
shown the wonder of fame
Told I was one for the history books
the person that kids would want to be
I was an astronaut, an explorer
and even so,
here I am.
Maybe I should have thought through this
tried to see the real push
attempted to extract myself
from the world of the pawns.
But that is indeed the tricky part
for then I did not know as I do now
that when they launched me
to this vacant planet
they truly meant what they said
it was I who simply blocked it out
not wanting to loose the fame
or glory or honor
that comes with space.
Now I wish I had listened
paid attention, and argued
for here I am sitting
on this vacant planet
with no one
to share the moment with.
This certainly left me with a huge empty space – a very uncomfortable empty space. Though I am a novice I find this piece to have been very well written.
Thank you!
