Solar Eclipse
Sunny day
Funny way
I had to pick myself up
Climb up out of this trench
It's somehow worse when it's sunny outside
and so black inside
Why can't any of the sun come in?
Black means
no friends are allowed
can't be bourne
nothing can penetrate
the eclipse
it's so painful
like a plant without sun
can't grow
the world will turn
another twenty four hours
where will i be?
at the bottom of the barrel
or sunny side up?
if you have no downs
can there be ups?
