Black Hole


My life is a black hole,

Sucking in everything around it.

Even light cannot escape my darkness,

Even those that I love cannot withstand it.

A beast lives inside of me,

And it tears me apart.

It inhales the things I love,

Then spits them away forever.

This black hole inside me,

It breaks me apart piece by piece.

It stands tall and roars,

Shaking my foundations.

It bites down on my mind,

Snapping my sanity.

Chewing on my heart.

Opening a black hole that pulls my life apart.

I am a high school student at a small school, I've been through a lot so far throughout my life, but there are three things that I normally write about: I write about the depression that I battle every day and often lose to, and I write about the two women that I've fallen in love with, both of which left, and I'm never going to see either one again. If you like my writings, please e-mail me at [email protected]. It helps to know when people enjoy or relate to the things that I write.
