black hole

Like a baby’s rubber bones
Unaffected by the repeated falls
Bouncing back into shape
Intent on your destination
Time after time
A reincarnated self emerges
Fresh with new hope
Thinking ahead with a smile
Until you realize
your seven lives are up.
An image of every fall
once locked up
Breaks free
Spreading
Like a lethal poison
Cancerous to your soul
Freezing every thought
Distorting reality
Turning stepping stones into slides
Taking you down a black hole
Sucking out the light from all directions
The tornado like winds surrounding you
Like an invisible barrier
Chaining you down
Keeping you from the outside that can only been seen
But not touched
