Its All Coming Down Again (or Black Hole)

by

I used to be a happy child,

with blue eyes and a happy smile.
I didn’t ever cry or get angry,

like I do now.
My days were filled with my Father

and Teddy our dog.

Though we were never rich,

rather very poor,
we had a good life just the three of us.

He never remarried, so I didn’t have "mother"
reforming me.

And then when I got older,

I got angrier.
It seems all I could see was the

pessimistic side of life.
I threatened suicide,

rather dejected from the world and its
social ladder.

I never did complete the task
and the scars are mostly emotional.

I was full of rage and self loathe,
it seemed to control me.

And thus I lived on the dark side of life.

Then one-year things got better,

I had friends and people who cared.
I was finally clawing my way out of my black hole.

I was being successful, then the sky turned red
and I fell back into my well of despair and loathe.

My Father died.
I was left empty, soiled, alone.

I felt despair like never before.
But I slowly began to rise from the pit again.

As my days got better, so to did my life.
I was happy once again,

no longer the black crow.
I could finally see the silver lining.

But, unfortunately,
it’s all coming down again.
