You saved me –
I lost all sense of who I was during that year
with the walls closing in
But you opened all the doors
and let me escape and create
any moment I needed
You saved me –
helping me break-free,
be just me or whoever else I wanted
You opened my eyes to beauty and heartache
(the divine combination of growth)
You saved me Poetry –
I never knew
my own words could bring me back to life

Love this. Poetry is so powerful like that. There’s a therapist living in every pen!

Thanks so much Tom 🙂 The pen is indeed powerful and therapeutic… most of the time, for we both know sometimes it misbehaves and then… It goes for a quick trip across the room. Not really, I write on my devices; that’d be an expensive writers tantrum 😅
