"The pleasure of bringing a thought, feeling, [and] memory to life. The gift of creating that God shares with us mortals so that we may experience the small joy that he experienced in the beginning and before."
-Crimson-n-Clover

They think I'm crazy,
Think I must be absurd.
Why else might I spend my day,
Locked behind my bedroom door?

I cannot face them,
Cannot face reality.
Upstairs, in my room,
Reality is pointless.

Have they experienced,
Otherworldly things?
Can they relate to the whirlwind,
Whipping through my head?

My fingers cannot type as fast,
As the words pouring into my brain.
Instead, outlines are my new best friend,
While I sketch out multitudes of ideas.

Sometimes, I just sit there,
Pondering about the physical world.
Not always busy,
I tend to waste my day.

My room is my refuge,
An asylum from the hectic world.
In my room I'm transformed,
As poetry flows from my soul.
