I'm a tauraus

"I'm a tauras" I say but I
Mean that personalities are
Nuanced and I happen to i-
Dentify with some traits often
Attributed to tauruses
Such as a desire to love
And nurture all living things
And a fundamental belief
That all life is sacred. "I'm a
Taurus" I say but I mean that
I want you to like me and I
Think it is likely that you buy
Into this astronomy bull-
I mean, maybe I don't believe
My destiny can be controlled
As easily as the pull of
Gravity on a bunch of orbs
Of gas uncontrollably on
Fire. "I'm a taurus" I say,
But I mean that I am more like
The stars in the elaborate
Constellation: that powerful
Sensation, that stuff that myths are
Based on. "I'm a taurus" I say,
But I mean that we're all made out
Of stardust but I'm trying to
Read the stories from veins of sky
Traced into skin, I'm pacing and
Restless in pursuit of endless
Nights of stories and a desire
To humanize those distant and
Fiery stars that compose the
Mighty bull, the very story
I refuse to let define me.
So I say instead: "I'm a taurus"
