Found a Way
For years i've searched for a way to get out,
Maybe ill do like the other birds do and head South,
From place to place i go figuring out what lifes about,
Thoughts dripping out of my head like a leaky water spout,
But these dripping thoughts, you see..they will never dry,
They've collected in one place, a puddle, that's knee high,
I became overwhelmed, this puddle now absorbing my energy and life,
Consumed by the worries and the pain,
I let my black ink pen take them away,
This puddle now dry transferred to wet ink on this blank paper,
Life's a female dog and it takes the ones you love not to hate her,
I found what i needed, all my doubts now depleted,
I write down all my worries, and they dissapear as i read them,
I stopped clipping the branches, went straight for the root and the stem,
I express all my worries, and they dissapear as you read them,
I found my way!
