Saturns Belt

“-Saturn, which by far has the largest ring system, was known to have rings for a long time.”

 

 

 

A question I have for adults

As time goes and I grow

Will I always feel this alone?

Like a fallen leaf from all it new

Her bark? Her branches?

And her other leaves, too?

 


They say when you get older the closest circles around you shrivel.

rings, once wide as Saturns  belt  draw and closer and closer and closeruntil they tighten around your neck,

And you choke on their emptiness.

You cant speak anymore, your loud voice has gone so quiet,

You wonder if it really belonged to you, because now that you’re alone.

It's gone.

It is cripplingly painful because right now you believe them.

Perhaps it's just a consequence

Of bending to your circumstance
