Black Hole

There it is.
Push it back.
Push it away.
Ignore it.
Overcome it.
Deal with it
(By not dealing with it).
And so the smaller
And more potent
It becomes.
A black hole
Buried inside of me
Pulling with the force of its gravity
Until there is nothing left.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
