Wrong Side of Heaven

welcome to my reality 
who’s reality of their self falters at the drop of a hat 
the sudden tantalizing change is surely overwhelming 
it’s at the point where I’ve been on the moon so long 
the law of gravity doesn’t apply to me

only when my eyes glaze over and the fall is accelerating 
do I decide to feel the weight carried by my feet 
the uneasy awareness of my senses has caused my body to deem them unnecessary 

i’m used to my uncertainty, but the earth’s endless divides are a whole nother planet to me 

my sun doesn’t shine but her orbit strongly pulls me
she convinces me I’m unlike anyone you’ll ever meet 
though I am everyone you’ve ever seen 

i do not care to know about people, places, or things 
all I’ve ever understood is the need to experience what would happen if someone entered my galaxy 
and admire every action like I’d change the course of history 

i have a fire brewing, but in the shadows the flame goes untouched 

i’d rather you burn your hand on the match for me
