"Despair that pulls me down like gravity" revised

Despair and gloom give way to bliss and happiness!

Despair that pulls me down like gravity

(like a black hole that eats up all matter)

leaves in its wake a hollow cavity;

O God! My void's so great I'll just shatter!

I can't seem to escape this emptiness,

this giant hole in my sad, shipwrecked soul

which starves for bliss, for that once-known happiness

now thick and heavy like the pitch of coal.

But, like to the star that explodes in death

to give rebirth to its third, solar span,

planets, moons, comets, asteroids, then breath

to all life on this Earth and then to man;

      So God's hand gives to me this second chance,--

      this blissful, happy, reborn circumstance!

enjoyed the poem it held a lot of connotation's of self destruction, it was very good at showing a silver lining im glad that there was hope in the end.
