dying is living


I’m in pain,

all the time.

Everyday is agony,

im tired of this fight.

let me show you what I mean. 

So, I’ll make my cake

out of shotgun shells. 

Light it up

like a candle.

and let it blow me out. 

Pull the pin,

on the grenade 

as I cuddle with C-4

do you get it now?

or do I need to tell you more?

should I play with a hangman’s noose?

daggers, arrows, Spears?

this knife that I produce?

or syringes full of air?

i could go on forever,

im tired of being here.

dying is my living. 

I’m drowning in this air.

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
