Runaway

An illustrated image of shooting stars, with a band of lighter color around the edge. The image is in blues and purples.

I believe in you and me
But mostly
in myself
 
I wander through the sphere
at my own pace
which might be too fast for you
 
You see the dust in the sky
and you know
this was me
 
This is the only path to me
but it will be gone in seconds
and if you don’t hurry
you will never find me again
 
Some say I’ve changed
others say I’m reckless
 
But if you’d ask me
I’d say
I’m on my way to a better place
 
I’m a runaway
