We all have different things that keep us sane
In this insane world
For you, it might be reading a book
Scrolling through Instagram
Painting
Or taking shots
Hanging out with friends
Or just taking some time to be by yourself
But for me
It is writing
Or typing, as I'm doing now
The words flow from me
Like a never-ending river
Leading to a bigger ocean
Writing is part of my soul
It comes from my heart
I write because
The world is messy
But words on paper
And words on the screen aren't
I write because
The world upsets me
And my writing is my way
To escape
The paper understands
My keyboard speaks to me
Hush, it says
Everything will be alright
I write because
No one is there for me at night
While I cry myself to sleep
No one
But that pen and paper on my desk
And that phone on my bedside drawer
Hush, they say
Everything will be alright
