I write the book.
The book of life.
I hold the pen.
The pen that writes.
I write them down.
Scribbled words.
Smudging ink.
With tears unheard.
I write one word.
It forms a page.
Another chapter.
The ink won't fade.
I write the book.
The book of life.
I hold the pen.
I hold the knife.
The blood attracts.
Another page.
I write all night.
I write all day.
I write the book.
That owns my mind.
I hold the pen.
And stay alive.

I "really" get this one.  I know there have been many times when writing...even crap...was so much better than what was going on in my head and the directions it was heading. I hope you're not in that place.  

Loved this and think it needs another bump. Thank you for sharing it.
