When I say writing, you’d think, She’s not even one, definitely needs a shrink But who needs one When tomorrow you won’t even see the sun? And long before it is even dawn I would travel the void, all alone…

Poets should never travel alone - unless their heart has a vice-like grip! .

I love the fact that the character doesn't know what to call itself.
