Gates Of Heaven *


Shame me

Break me

Blame me

Hate me

Hurt me

Stay silent, I tell myself

While you tell me I'm not worth it

I don't call out for help

Because I don't deserve it

but you don't realize

that I'm not blind

that I can see the end of the tunnel,

you don't want me to see

and I can see your push me harder,

like you bet I'll break and bleed

But I won't 

Not now

Not ever

Because I see

The gates of Heaven."

TamingOfSeaWolves

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
