Shadow and light
"Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light." (Pythagoras) Poetry or prose.
Keep Fighting
Obscurity always knows how to steal joy,
Sucking it in like a vacuum of despair,
Planting kisses of death on any plan made.
Starting with the littlest aspects of life,
Dampening them with drenching acid rain,
Depression reigns supreme over my head.
Torrential tsunamis of push and pull,
Insanity versus sanity, if you deign believe
Either is on a separate, cleaner coin.
Whether there's a cleaner coin, mentally arises,
As I flip the shiny token of "joy" on knuckles
Bruised from beating the shit out of life.
Yet, every night, as I undo Mayweather's laces,
I look up to the sky and beg God to give me
A sign and let a star shine through for luck.
