The Joy of Living


On the outside you see my living body,

On the inside I'm decaying,

In my soft eyes you see I'm paying my soul pain,

In my soul I'm stuck in a cell, 

On my beating heart is the buck,

On my head are my antlers striking the art,

In my skin is my crumbling bones, 

In my head is my mumbling spirits,

Looking for the better days
