A Life Sentence *final edit

A Life Sentence *final edit

As if adrift atop saline black as night,
I Wander in thought, my true expressions disguised,
Trapped in the depths of my abyss out of sight,
I perform a theatrical peace for the masses in covert lies.

Tis a parody of my own unusual genre,
A honed skill of torment locked away,
I seek nothing but acceptance and yet distance from ya,
A struggle sometimes to reach the dark of day.

Cryptic, a glass stare and look hard to decipher,
I muddle my lines and yet unnoticed I flee,
I realise that it is I whom I despise and accept I'm a lifer!
As long as I am scared, I will never be free.

Hey SIMON!!!.....I am struggling to interpret this piece....the first line seems like you're floating on top of water at night....and then it sounds like you're talking about your own poetry ~

            ~ "a parody of my own usual genre.."

and then all I can get is that you're struggling with some kind of conflict......But I can't quite understand the whole of it.....you've got to help me out here.....I'm VERY curious to figure this out......hugs n smiles!!.......T xo ?✴❤✴?

Hi Tony thank you for reading and your support as always.  This piece was very much intended to provoke thought and image.  I see the ocean as our lives that we live.  Hidden depth and sometimes light casts upon its waves and sometimes turmoil upsets it's current. Parody of my own genre, I meant as we each have our own style and yet I feel as if I mock mine sometimes with jokes and false laughter.  I really appreciate your comments.
your friend Simon.
