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. December 24 2008 |

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. |
