Absolution

Written by Caitlyn Lacovara

When a star collapses

Will I go with it

 

Spiraled in webs of glittering debris

Engulfed by my own dark matter

Forced to drink a beautiful purple poison

 

Will I float in an empty sky

Starve in its loneliness

Surpass gravity’s gentle hold on me

 

Will my light still reach you

Like all the other sleeping stars

Will I become the center of your universe

 

Or  lose myself in the stratosphere.

This is the poem I wrote, not sure why it's coming up under shriram.
