Windstorm

The crimson sky darkens
flames of anguish hurls
across the whole world ignores
our hero digs his lot

Killing himself slowly... peacefully
as if the rain clouds 
are tranquil and loving 
our hero lives a dream 

only deep within a asylum
where sorrow paces back
and forth with anxiety on
his shoulder spreading gossip

about our hero except
he's dug the lot
took out a razor blade
writing songs on his wrist

resembling decade long scars
with eyes resembling a windstorm
an pond of tears pours
deep into his lot

drowning his life away
cutting away useful minutes
All images cease to exist
now darkness hurls the horizon

Sad, yet too many, particularly us artist types, are prone to depression with our great joys. Goes with the territory I guess. Great, profound write!
