Please don’t make yourself at home
Yesterday
I caught a star
With my burning fist
And left my handprint on it
I crash-landed on the clouds
I bounced back
Bounced back I
Shot a star with my mouth
I juggled Pluto
I breathed on Neptune
I grew a farm on Saturn
I named all the planets that
I was first to visit
Pierced them with flags of my face
Stamped them with my fingerprints
I was the first to walk on
I’ll be the first to mould one
I completed a dot to dot
Of the stars that make me
Whole
I am a new constellation
I flew
But not too close
Just close enough
I visited the sun
It only warmed my heart
I did not burn
Or fall apart
There are ceilings, walls, and roofs
But there are windows and doors too
There are rules
Yes
There are cans and cant's
But don’t listen
Just travel far
Don’t be a plan
Don’t be a don’t
Just be a star
