Lost in Space

What is happening?

I am lost in a world

that does not fully know me,

nor I fully understanding it.

 

I fall into space,

in a universe where gravity does not exist,

in search of the unknown

with asteroids and stars in sight,

 

yet I fall into a black hole

and can no longer see.

Tell me there is hope,

I want to believe.
