At the center of my universe

My disorientation, I guess
is that things
keep taking my place
at the center of my own universe.

The things then look at me,
as if I were an eyesore, out of place
not fitting in my own universe.

Growing up wouldn't be that bad,
if I could just retain that place of mine
in my own universe.

I wonder whether what you think is your universe is actually your universe, or is this just an illusion!

I think, as children, we get so used to being the center of others' universe, and then we find it difficult to differentiate this from our own..

Not sure about what I said, though..

You are, by definition
Center of your Universe
Even though sometimes
It may seem to be reverse

The place in the mirror
Is the only one they take up
And that is how
They help you grow up!

I wonder why
When the universe is all mine
I care only about
Being in the center.
And why
I do not have
The ability to love someone
So much
That I let them be
The center of my universe.

I wonder why
When the universe is all mine
I care only about
Being in the center
When there's so much room
all over the place
and I can truly, proudly be
wherever I want to

What's disorienting, after all
is those boundaries and contours
of your universe
your walls
are ever-shifting
ever forming and vanishing
playing around with your geometry
fooling you, who merely
constantly, chase the centre
