Greatest Escape

The greatest escape I’ve ever known-
When the tip of my pen touches the paper
Or when my fingers move swiftly across the keyboard 
Thoughts; flowing like a waterfall
Emotions adding weight to the pages
Lowering all defences as they leave my body
Deafened by the silence left in my head
And in these moments
No one owns me but myself
For in my silence 
I am buoyed by my writing
