Black Blacker Blackest
You may see life as
Black, blacker, blackest.
I did too.
You learn something new every day,
Like how infinity divided by infinity isn’t one,
Or you can choose to study and focus on God,
And try to pretend like you’re a holy person.
I did that too.
You can try and act numb to the world around you,
And act like you don’t care about anything.
You can act like being compared to other people doesn’t bother you.
I tried that too.
You can lock yourself in the bathroom,
And cry until you have no tears left in your body,
Not because you are exactly sad.
Just tired.
That happened to me too.
You can wake up every morning,
Expecting change overnight.
Normally, that doesn’t happen.
I’ve learned that the hard way, and you should too.
You can treat life as if it is nothing but
Black, blacker, blackest.
Why not have it be
Light, lighter, lightest?
You can join me too.
