The light bulb at the end of the tunnel

"I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people". Isaac Newton

I am sinking at the speed of light
Into a black hole
Without putting up a fight
Since I probably wont sleep a wink
I wonder what to say to my shrink
Tomorrow -
Probably confess
my affair with sorrow.
I ponder
How many shrinks
Would be required
To turn in a light bulb -
None, I believe,
Since keeping me,
And other crazies
In the dark, longer,
Would surely make their
Business stronger.

Author's Note

Captcha fans - "booted", aptly put in a sentence, "My mind booted me off the A-team until my thoughts started to behave again".

yeah.. this is a hard one to read, but even if there are things that are not very clear to those of us who live in the bright daylight, it does not mean that we have no room on our shoulders. (p.s. lots and lots of room :)

A hard read? Oh, I tried to be simple.....usually that comes to me spontaneously...:).....it is amazing how much clarity can be gained in darkness......sunshine is overrated....;)

I love your sense of humor. It's not easy to bring a smile upon someone's face, especially through writing. Your pen tickled me as a reader, and I must thank you for the good laugh.

You are welcome, Shane! At the end of the rainbow of tears, I prefer to believe that I will find a pot of laughter.....ahhh....that should go into a poem.....:)

[Shane Mohamed]

I hope you find it. Been looking for mine for a very long time.

so put them out of business..sink for awhile then swim and support them no more and find out what it's like out in sunlight..

[SleeplessVolcano]

Ahhhh.....will take your advice and let you know how it goes.....:)

Anto.....I had to dig this one out of my corrupt hard-drive in response to "Psycho" :). Like my alter ego told me the other day (that's the humourous one) "When life is telling you to dig your own grave, be thankful for a blunt shovel". :)
