How I Survive

Writing has made me a survivor.

It's difficult to sleep
when my thoughts beg
to be brought to life.
I do what I'm told,
as I put pen to paper
and make them breathe.
Even as it tires me,
I never ask for someone
else to take my place.
I pick up these words
and let them release me.
Don't bother calling
because my desire
to get away always
leaves me panting.
If ever I feel lost,
I write my thoughts to life
in order to survive.

I know where you're coming from. I often feel this way myself.
