The Trying

my eye is a black hole

always drinking light

in a lovely little canyon

this body nature growing around it

so my mind will one day evaporate

my eyes will close one final time

to awaken for the first

to maybe start it all again

and perhaps do so much better

or maybe f**k it up again

I will never cease the trying

it's the thing that makes me human

even if it means I'm dying

Hi,

This poem is a great representation of how we constantly try to be the best version of ourselves throughout life. I love the imagery used to explain the "black hole" which is the center of constantly trying not to fall into this black hole. Great poem with a deep meaning.
