I grew up in a forest
where all things were alive—
including the birds,
and the countless humans
who’d said harsh words
that had made me cry...
Which would stir a sadness
and bring upon madness,
to where my sanity
was replaced with insanity—
though I was always
still happy.
And now, gone from there,
I am free from pain—
eluding misery’s bane,
and finding myself within
a happier place...
Somewhere out there
in outer space.
And I have no regrets,
save to let my worries die.
As I have no longer a need
to cry...
As you may see me,
way up there—
in the starry galaxy.
