On A Wave

On a Wave

By Juan Terrazas


Darkness, it surrounds us.

The black dust.

The icky must.

Why us?


We try to think positive…

But with no success.

We end up down in the dumps

Going to class with a slump.


Depression hits

We fall into the deep abyss.

We may come out of it

But not the way we may wish.


We make moves

But everything stays the same though.

We’ve been on a wave

One that didn’t fade, no.


The darkness surrounds us.

Why us?
