Dead Star
You feel empty.
Worthless.
Useless.
So you try to be something.
Find something you like.
Take realistic steps
to get to your
goal.
& get disinterested half-way.
You weren't fast enough
to beat the black hole.
To complete the task.
So you go back & forth.
Running away,
scared of the vacuum,
but staying in your half-way life.
Because half-way
is at least away
from your biggest fears.
Of finishing incomplete.
Which is why you hate going back half-way.
Fear that's the only thing to accomplish.
You hate running away
from the real problem -
the emptiness.
You want to change the emptiness.
Still trying to be someone
something that matters
in this world.
A star
of your own choice.
Emptiness = ambiguity & unsureness.
That will always exist.
Everything always ends in a vacuum.

I read Frost's poem a couple of times, but when I came back to comment, it had collapsed into a singularity. Anyway, I'll look at the documentary when I get a chance.
my poem
I took it down because it sucked so bad I didn't even want it out there. UGH.
The last line of this poem is the clencher! Good work!
So you go back &
So you go back & forth.
Running away,
scared of the vacuum,
but staying in your half-way life.
yep, that half-way life and the sense of incompletion. (I'm certainly not complete.) ;-) liberation may be knowing and accepting that you don't have to "be anybody."
