Spacewalker

You deserve nothing less

Than extraordinary;

Do not settle for

Mediocre; just because it’s there

Do not settle for

Anything less than

Amazing; just because you can.

You are worth the universe,

Do not give in to stars and praises.

Compliments and galaxies

Are nothing but words and constellations

Compared to you.

You are beautiful,

A wreckage of hurt and bruises and wounds

Yet you still shine

You are beautiful.

Meteor showers and comets

Are incredibly stunning

But you

You are a shooting star

You are a reckless blazing fire

Do not dim your light
To accustom to their darkness. 

There are galaxies in your veins

So don’t you ever try to tear them apart

You do not deserve to hurt yourself

You will never bleed yourself dry

I won’t let you.

He can be a gorgeous mess,

Everything that you’ve ever wanted,

Desired, hoped for and dreamed of,

But he is not Zeus,
No matter how god-like you think he is;

And he is not worth it.

Until the day he crosses the universe for you,

Climbs the stars and voyages galaxies

To fashion a smile out of lightning on your face,

He is and he will never be worth it.

He is but a boy

And you do not deserve

To cry your heart out over him.

Do not tear yourself apart

To keep him whole
I forbid your universe to crumble
Should he ever leave you.

I did not give up on you

So you would end up with boys like him.

He will never steal the stars for you

Because he’s too fixated on asteroids

To realize that you are too good for him.

I defied space for you

Because you were my universe.
Do not fall in love with him
For hanging the sun in the sky,
Because I know that you love the rain more.

Do not fall in love with a boy

Who only sees you as another castaway

To add to his collection of broken stardust

One day you’ll find a boy

Who would walk the surface of the universe

A million times over

Just to be with you.

And until that day comes,

Do not settle 
For anything less 
Than extraordinary.
