Go find yourself (poem)

It's time to go,
time to say goodbye.
How long can you stay here?
You're not a tree after all.

Our lives are defined by movement,
defined by the changes we experience:
our first crush,
our first big move.

We can learn a lot about ourselves
by how we react to the unfamiliar:
are we frogs jumping from hot water,
or do we make a home in it?

We host infinite cosmos within us,
so vast we barely know it,
and the unfamiliar is a blank canvas
our stardust paints us a portrait on.

So leave this home behind
with its familiar faces and streets,
and find the shine of your cosmos
like you've wanted to for so long.

-Zero
