Black Hole

*edited* A 4-stanza poem about dark thoughts, written for the PDQ Poetry Challenge. (THP)

BLACK HOLE


Here it comes, running after me-- madness!
Pulling me, drowning me, all the sadness.
There is nothing but pain, suffering, grief.
This lonesome place gives no room for relief.

Stirring and swirling inside me-- deathly dreams.
Nowhere to hide, watch out for the endless screams!
I am left in this dark place feeling hollow.
Lost, cannot find the path I need to follow.

You, who wander about in this region;
your shadow, like monsters, form a legion.
In front of me, a figure with no face;
tell me, why am I in this unknown space?

This is where the worthless, dying souls reside;
a place where the demons and nightmares can hide.
A region where even light cannot elude,
fitting for inhabitants of solitude!
