Earthbound

Earthbound
   with the sky and the stars above.
Earthbound
   I remember having dreams once
   reaching through the sky
   and out beyond the horizon.
Earthbound
   Something was wrong with them.
   I should not tell anyone.
   I would not tell anyone.
   I could not tell anyone.
        Even me.
Earthbound

    When
           did
                 my
                     soul
                          grow
                               roots?
