Ugly

Shades turning from white to grey
I feel it eating my visage
Memories rotting, won’t stay
Distant feelings, like a mirage

A faceless mask makes me numb
I trace fingertips along scars
I know I’ve gone deaf and dumb
A locust flits through prison bars

Cancer on black wings, lovely
How can anyone feel or say
This disease makes me ugly
Hard to look at or look away
A short vent poem about my current bout of depression, prompted by said depression.

Very potent imagery.

You could possibaly adjust the lines to be more fluid. Don't get too caught up on an exact syllable count.

I personally think this would be worth getting published with slight adjustment.

Brilliant work.
