"We're all a little weird, and life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE."
-Dr. Seuss

I’m in a black hole.
I can get out, but with severe pain either way, I could escape.
Or I can wait in the black hole until it passes.
Any way I can get out would just throw me into a different
Hole.
Black.

I don’t want any of this.
All of it hurts.
All has regret.
All makes me die inside.

I’m in.
An.
Endless.
Universe.
Of.
Black holes.

I can’t.
Escape.

This is a poem I wrote when I was feeling stuck and hopeless. I think we all feel like this sometimes.
