Gaping Hole of Darkness

All your negativity

You open your mouth;

Only darkness, void, and negativity escapes!

You drag me down;

Into a never ending hole of darkness!

I gasp for air;

I feel there is no escape!

I fight for my freedom;

Trying to recognize a little ray of sunshine!

I need to move forward;

Break free from the back-slide of your negativity!

You will not lift someone up;

This shines light on your own personal darkness!

I grasp at realization;

Taking that initial step of motivation!

You lash out;

Your hold can not be broken!

How dare I move forward;

Step into my own path of enlightenment!

I need to stay away;

It is my only chance for advancement!

Every time you open your mouth;

It drags me down, like a gaping hole of darkness!
