no pioneer, i by rochelle hope mehr

i’m on a lonely exploration
of inner space
trying to find the right molecule
to fix my broken brain
there’s not much glory in it
and it doesn’t pay too well
but if I ever learn how
to transcend my limitation
I will be happy
to find myself
with my feet on earth
it takes noble souls to attain noble goals
I am broke
and just waiting for the green valley’s
burgeoning embrace
