Reality

In the summer of a universe,
I am with the sun.

I yearn to break away.
I try.

A giant gravity holds me fast.
No matter how I try, I cannot reach a new domain.

I am trapped right here.
Armed with every treasure and matter known,
I make my leap for escape.

I succeeded.
And upon waking,

I found myself locked away forever,
Supplying blood to the beating heart of the sun.
