I like writing in the dark
No one will know
No one can see my sorrow
Just alone, starring at my own show
I keep it dark, keep it low
Keep it mysterious, no one has to know
The twisted roots of tall trees continuously grow
It’s found in the missing forest
No daylight, no breakthrough, no rest
Pure hollow is what this place manifest
Everything I wrote with my red-blooded ink is in my hidden desk

her perspective in life.
