Half Dead Lips


Why me?

Why must my mission be something that's impossible?

Why must I fight an uphill battle?

Or live on a sinking ship.

Why?

I beg of you to answer, Existence.

Why must I take these hits?

Why must I live as a corpse.

And speak through half dead lips.

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
