Tianyi Wang

Tianyi Wang is a medical student.

The life you did not choose is the ship that never carried you, 

beckoning in dream

state of consciousness,

unravelling by seams

of pant legs scraping earth and water.

a pilgrimage 

of atheist devotion,

are you left a lone voyager

in oceanic expanse,

still searching for the north star

as waves lull you to final slumber.

this life you choose is

the only ship that carries you,

beckoning you towards the

vast,

torturous,

insanely

beautiful.

the only life you will ever know.
