Notes About The Poem

Caricature, Painting, Fantasy

You Are a Black Hole

the weight
of your expectations
crush me


 "A black hole is a hungry beast ... It swallows up everything too close, too slow or too small to fight its gravitational force." ~JoAnna Klein/Dennis Overbye

That weight can be overwhelming at times, which is not a good feeling at all. No one should ever be in a "Black Hole". Your thoughts touch my heart so deeply. Congratulations Chetta, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
