the darkness
overtakes me
when moments of
sadness arrive
I try to keep
smiling on the outside
but I don’t want
to: I want to be real
to show the outcomes
of what gangs up
on my moments of
sanity, reality,
here I am shattered
into pieces
broken, sad, sorry
that I am not powerful
that I cannot give
everything I wish
not as true, clear,
lit by the sunshine
I drop from the sky,
the blue, blue sky
into a sea of crude
oil today
I want to be
cleansed and revived
of the market, of
the transitory fog
going from one thing
to the next
into the light,
bright sunshine
where I can grow
like a sunflower
turning with the
great goodness of the sun
