This Is NOT a cry for help, this is a cry for Freedom


I wish I had lights floating around my head Like the fish at the bottom of the ocean. The most hideous creatures always hide The most beautiful miracles… At least then I would be able to see The road ahead of me And the dark would leave the movement of my feet. Living in the unknown: The only unseen burn to the third degree. Set me free.
