## Content

My mom always told me to look down To avoid the unwanted attention in town To keep my gaze on my feet And avoid the catcalls on the street But I'm a dreamer, a star gazer My eyes wander to the skies, not the pavement I marvel at the constellations above And the beauty of the heavens that I love I know the risks of being a sky gazer The chances of stumbling and falling are greater But I'd rather trip and pick myself up Than to never look up and miss the wonders above So, Mom, forgive me for not heeding your advice I'll keep my wits about me, but I won't compromise My spirit, my curiosity, my thirst for life I'll keep looking up, embracing the stars and their light.
