The sky and I
December 15, 2014
blackened purple sky
cracked with white light
dark roars and tortured screams
resounding through the night
merciless pounding
dark & doubting
grey & pouting
me and the sky
so much alike
blue on our best days
the color of azure
the color of depression in
every way
yet grey when we cry
ready to scream and fight
fierce with might
the sky and i.

This one... perplexes me... like I start reading it, & i think "Awe... a beautiful poem about sunsets" but then the mood takes a 180 & changes into this message of escapism. & this is a good thing, I like a good poem that can confuse me every once in aw while, kinda like a plot twist you never see coming, you know?
