Meteroid-

Hurtling through space
Alone and forgotten
I yearned for so much
My heart was broken

Struggling to make contact
I aimed for the Earth
Piercing the atmosphere
I became something new

Moving faster than I should
Burning up and searing through
A flaming trail of pain followed
Shedding layers of sorrow

I burned up and crashed down
Destroying everything around
A hot mess sizzling and burning
But ultimately beginning to cool

A hardened rock, blackened and ugly
Radioactive and deadly
My remains not safe to touch for years
But some future day will be treasure worthy

I burned out quick
And crashed down hard
Long story short
I'm coming around
From a meteroid to a meteorite
