Look around,
      What do I see?
13 Dead Men
                   Looking at me

Wave my hands through the ink filled air,
life has been unfair,
But I am happy so long as I get my share.
Stress and suicide always on my mind,
A smile on my face is all you will e'er find.

For my tears fall in a secret place
So far away from earth's face.
In the pursuit of happiness I do give chase
Post haste!
On a Red horse it cannot escape.

Is this heaven or is it hell?
Halls of confusion I know so well.
I see the pain but I still leave my shell,
On my way to count how many angels' fell.
How can I tell?

Oh, with memories the Crystalline doth swell.

I hear echoes here.
here are the things I fear,
the things so far that they're near.

Pages float weightlessly,
As if e'er timeless.
I live Fateless, See?
Read this well, your Highness.

The grass is so green,
The skies so grey.
For many years I haven't seen
Night or day.

I Await the rain,
to wash away the stains
of blackened grains.

There was fire,
Here remains desire,
In my eyes lack the dire

At least here I am Maskless..


Carpe Diem
