How far space goes/It’s always expanding; will anyone ever know?/The names of all the constellations (I could look them up)?/How to keep plants alive/How to get over losing someone/The pain of losing someone you love never goes away/How to be brave/Who I really am/But we are always evolving; is there truly a real me?/How to forget you/To erase the memories of you from my mind, my limbs/How to remove the words and lines of poetry you left on my skin/How to let go/Accepting myself/How to follow my passion fearlessly/How to change the oil in my car/How the hell bees fly (they’re not so aerodynamic)/How my brain can hold on to useless trivia I learned six years ago, but can’t remember an important conversation from two days ago, or where I put my keys/How to forget the best books I’ve read so I can read them for the first time again/Where I lose all my pens; I wouldn’t have to keep buying more/How to end this hungry desire for your touch; it’s the dull ache in my chest that won’t ever go/What happens when I die; I wonder if my spirit will roam and wander, or if there is a final resting place/How black holes work/How the boundless depths of the ocean can hold so much life; there is no light at the bottom of the ocean, so much pressure/The endless hours of sleepless nights.
