Mindful escape


My mind escapes with paper and pen

It is there that I can release and let go

without the risk of being judged

It is there I can speak my mind

without having to yell to be heard

The pen is my weapon

and the paper is my plan

with it anyone can hear me

and with it my secrets can be silent

The world shuts out when I am

on my written quest

It is just me and I

My thoughts synchronize

   on paper

When all is written

  all is good

and this is why I write
