The Story of the Universe
They say the Universe is infinte,
but they claim that it is not
Borne from nothingness,
And behold!
It takes claim to everything,
and everything stretches far beyond it 'ought
Created from countless specks of energies,
drifting into stardust
Forming gods of matter and life
Lonely,
as the prisoner of eternity
was sought
Thus, the Universe created Time
and with it, it evolved
Expanding and creating
Giving the fate of the future not any forethought
Yet harboring a suppressed denial
of knowing precisely what it brought
Time eventually became restless;
tired of the Universe's foolish paradoxes
Taking matters into its own mischevious hands,
it sabotaged the Universe's elaborate creations...
and so they fought
But Time had become too powerful,
sending the Universe into utter cataclysms
Stars exploded
Beasts were formed
as the Universe spiraled into an order-lacking drought
Millions of new things erupted from the chaos:
Satellites, Planets, Solar Systems, Galaxies!
Our beloved Sun
and Earth became,
along with it-us
And now we are here,
but be it with Time,
we will not
As the Universe continues to edge along
in constant contradiction
Or rather,
it forever stands still
in a bubble called the 'Multiverse'
it is caught

I wrote this poem at the age of 12, when I first became a poet, so it isn't one of my best pieces, but it is definitely one of my favorites.
