Astronaut Emezie Okorafor

Astronaut - Emezie Okorafor
Everybody knew her name;
Not too pretty, not too plain
Subtle beauty was her game
This girl who never dared complain

The way she stared out into space
The look she had upon her face;
As if she had a dream to chase
As if she had no time to waste

A delicate thing
Dressed up in pink and blue
A feeling so strong
I wonder what's wrong with you?

I asked her what she dreamed the most
To be a lawyer, doctor, teacher, coach?
An astronaut or game show host?
First female pres to rock the vote?

She said, "None of those are what I need
The things I seek aren’t within me
Something’s coming, can’t you see?
I wait for love, ‘cause I believe."

"A feeling so strong
Couldn’t be wrong," she said
A look of such longing
A wish of belonging somewhere
