Looking Up

From the problems
Of this world my eyes are turning away
To gaze upwards

The night has gone
On seemingly forever looking forward to
The break of dawn

With non stop
Chatter she puts her overinflated
Ego on display

Away from her
Lies my starship is heading back
Into deep space

There are those
Who wonder why my heart doesn’t
Mind being alone

Perhaps if they
Weren’t so self centered – hard to
Get along with

Quite unpleasant
My heart wouldn’t mind having them
Along for the ride

An individual who
Is always right (in her eyes) no matter
How wrong she is
