Analysis of Black Holes
When you are young, the skies are clear, the universe seems just beyond your fingertips as you stand up tall on your tippy toes. There are no clouds to distract from the twinkles of every shining light. Then as the years go by, the clouds set in and you realize that some stars just dont shine as brightly. Some have faded into the distance, some were just glimmers and shine just once, just to disappear against the vastness of the universe.
The world revolves around the sun a couple of times more and the sky becomes even more hidden as the clouds begin to circle. The rain begins to pound, the thunder booms and the world is a dark shade of gray. As you search for your stars, you see them fighting to fill your gray with light. The lightening strikes and you are left blinded.
As the clouds clear, you finally see who in life are your stars and who were just black holes. The stars always there despite the storms while others were masking truths and were just black holes in disguise.
