Staring over the abyss of darkness,
The black and blue possibility makes me ponder with curiosity.
The infinite times I can jump back into the abyss,
Where I can wormhole my way back to where I started,
Never ending, never stopping
again
again
again,
The abyss never taking me somewhere new.
The mere existence of standing near to the
Stupid and patronizing abyss is a cruel curse
To whomever puts someone in this position.
The edge of the abyss is the safe comfort for
My mind to gather and rethink a way out of this
Paradox of a place, where next to the abyss I can
Only ever regain the thoughts of what’s to come
If I could find a new place when leaping into the abyss.
The cold and deep blue abyss stares at me, as a figure who
Finds pain when someone doesn’t leap.
I willingly comply
again and
again and
again
Meeting its demand—–finding the same spot
Over
and Over
In this never ending loophole of
never stopping
never ending,
same place again
Again again
Again again
Again
There must be light down in the abyss
I jump
There must be people In the abyss
I jump
There must be colors down in the abyss
jump
jump
jump.
And yet as always
I am looking over at the dark blue abyss.
