A cry, a plea

I haven't written in a while
The skies of my creative was veiled in clouds
Black, grey's and reds
The color palette I label dread
I haven't spoken much in a week.
I've pondered much on the interpretation of peace
I scoured the depths intent on discovery
Ignored the voices inside that said
This burden isn't yours to bear
Sorrow draped itself around me
I became an infant swaddled in birth cloth
Swirling around in amitotic fluid about to be reborn
Like a moth I emerged from a cocoon of deep troubled thought
And what did I learn? I learnt naught
On this odyssey my life has been
Many a time my ship berthed on death shores
But something always thrust me back to sea
But like a fixated love he sought me
Battling for the right to tongue kiss
I evaded, albeit barely
Enemies gather like a shroud like piranhas hidden in silky clouds
Two faced liars they are
Friend till the end
With teeth hungering for bloodied beef
I live
Locked in a tussle with forces alien to human subspecies
I breathe weariness
Shackled by the knowledge I can't speak to any who'll understand what it means to be me
A dwarf star implodes
And I awaken to the fact that I have drifted
Into the Nebula of stoicism
Haunted by ghosts of inner impropriety
Struggling to cage a wild beast, a fire simmering
Like a volcano
Gyro forces about to be unleashed
To the King
My last words would be
Save me
