Think Ink

Again and again the harassment of my pen, the words bleed as the ink spills out. My brain is a blur and my thoughts are in doubt. Where will I go when I finally fall? How hard will I hit when I lose it all ? How many times do I dust myself off? How easy is it to find yourself when you are lost? Will the signs be clear or do I have to figure out where each piece fits? I put things together to the way that I like to see it. I take a step back and the picture is obscured. Lost misunderstood and not really clear. My path is bright but I am filled with fear. My insides want it, my desire is strong, my hands have been holding things that are wrong. Now, I can only grab what is next to me, to escape the pain. I’m holding onto things, although I know it is in vain. My friend here is the only one that understands, this pen to paper takes me to another land. I scribble, I scratch and again and again, it’s the same emotions flowing from the tip of my pen.

that almost sounds like you stole that pen from me....or maybe that's just in a writer's identity....because all of my writes are written with my blood....my heart opens up, allowing ink to flood....all over the paper that my thoughts now desire....lisanne, your words do inspire my passion to blaze into the wildest fire....;)
