Alana Cheng BLACK HOLE
Written by Alana Cheng
A black hole that has now swallowed me whole
A certainty of darkness
To which is not denied by any means
For how I had ever thought once
To be so wholesome in the first place
In how I have survived so much
By all that has surrounded me with deceit
Of all the lies
That I once considered as the truth
But I am only now
Discovering that nothing
Is what it would seem to be from here
And from where I am standing
There is only nothing but the truth
Of which I can tell is that I am not okay
And the honest part of it all
Is that I’ve never really been okay to begin with
Of how I have survived upon all the lies
Of all that has come out of my mouth
Through my own teeth
Of breaking slowly but surely
But still putting on a face
Of letting the darkness persuade me
Into walking into the light that was never the light
Never really what I had thought was right
But back then
I thought it was good
But now I am swallowed whole
By the dark essence of the black hole
That I am now stuck in
Of having to give up all my powers of freedom
Of all that I once had before
And only now
It is the time for me to fight back
Even though I don’t know how
But somehow by one day in the near future
I will know how to fight this battle for my freedom
Of a life that is being lived on the lifeline
Of falling short of energy that I once felt I had
And that everything will somehow still be okay
