Extended Metaphor Poem

You might think I’m just
a fifteen-year-old girl
with brown hair
and brown eyes
But I know I am more
way more than even
a smart phone or robot
or a magician or donut shop owner
I am a astronaut
a home sick little girl
that smiles at the thought of
home
I am an astronaut
spreading my wings
to explore beyond this world
I am a space traveler
with zero limitation
I come back to reality again
and again
and again
The young brown haired girl
is an astronaut
a homesick, world seeker, with no limitation.
