I am the Universe
November 1, 2016
My skin is the matter
My mind the emptiness
My flesh is covered in blues and purples
While my mind is nothing but black
My hair is the Milky Way
Gentle and flowing
The stars are my bruises from long ago
The planets surround my head
Like a crown on a queen
The sun is the main jewel
But one jewel is missing
It has been removed from my crown
And replaced with my heart
It is tiny and cold
Colored black and blue from the pain it has suffered through
I named it Pluto
I am beautiful but deadly
Feared but loved
My name is the Universe
