Johnson Vdev Poet Lyric

I Have No Face

I have no face to claim
My face as a child
Lost it in my teenage
As the beach is lost to the sea

My teenage face
Lost it in my adulthood
As the dunes in a wind

My adult face
Lost to the old age
Burned off like a candle

And my old age face
Will be lost to the dust.
Melting down to the ocean of void

A faceless me
Where do I live
With that permanent sign
A faceless me.
