Cloaked

Sitting lost and lonely, nothing seems to change, alone and at once surrounded by people, always and again.

My brain is hardwired for a form of deep despair.

Losing all that's sacred, this is not a good thing, coated in their misgivings lost among their lies.

Fear surrounds me in a misty cloak of damp gray.

Shading me from good with a vengeance, hiding me from light with a sadistic certainty.

Love lost, learned and lost again how can I shed this cloak and breathe again?

The colors have washed out, the air is thick with humid loss...

How can I bring myself to live again?
