It's a nonstop journey Through the mind When pen touches paper Limitless thoughts She writes to let go To obliterate daily hurt and violence But only for a short while Immersion in her journals And diaries are her only freedom When pen touches paper The possibilities become endless Work does not exist School becomes irrelevant Family becomes perfect Problems in the world disappear She becomes queen Not of the world But of everything she cannot control When pen touches paper She becomes queen She can control all All she can think of And all she would never dream of When pen touches paper Her mind obliterates every bad Murder does not compute in anyone Stealing never crosses a mind Abuse has never happened Embezzling does not exist All crime and every crime is extinguished When pen touches paper No animal becomes food No human kills for survival When pen touches paper...
