Poem 1
It just washed over me like a black curtain
I am confused and feeling uncertain
I was laughing just a minute ago but now I feel 10 feet below
I need to be alone, curl up in a ball
I need to forget about it all
Tears are now falling out of control.
Here I go again down the black hole
Why can't I shake this why is this happening?
My understanding is slackening
I try to accept our new normal but fall short
Many times my walls are up like a fort.
This is not easy when uncertainty is at hand
Is this really God's plan?
I tell myself don't get discouraged but lately
my mind is not encouraged.
