I

I sustain madness
Entertain mental illness
Take refuge in solitude
Find comfort in stillness 
I bask in the sunshine
Write by the moonlight 
Turn pain into poetry
Create magic in the night
I appreciate simple beauty
Nature’s flowers in bloom
Something pleasing from each season 
A spot to write in the afternoon 
I seek calm serenity 
Away from the madness 
Where I can take time to clear my mind
My method to manage depression and sadness
