You pushed. You pushed me too far. Too far I fell. I fell down the hill. The hill you built, And then I stop. I stop rolling and I stop crying. It's dark. But I am safe here, Comfortable in the ditch, Comfortable in the rut That you placed me in. One big eye watching me. One force keeping me From the unknown. One push and I roll down. I roll down into dark oblivion And absolute uncertainty. But one push and you’re Gone.

Dark Oblivion
You pushed. You pushed me too far. Too far I fell. I fell down the hill. The hill you built, And then I stop. I stop rolling and I stop crying. It's dark. But I am safe here, Comfortable in the ditch, Comfortable in the rut That you placed me in. One big eye watching me. One force keeping me From the unknown. One push and I roll down. I roll down into dark oblivion And absolute uncertainty. But one push and you’re Gone.
I literally wrote this an hour ago. I based it on Georgia O'Keeffe's painting "Black Abstraction." I went to an exhibit at the Ashmolean Museum earlier and was given the prompt and wrote the poem based on her painting.
