The Day I Found Paper and Pen

The day I lost my mind
 is the day I found it again 
in my paper and pen

writing gave me a place to go.
to escape the maelstrom inside.
on the day i went insane
The torrent from which i couldn't hide.

The day I lost my mind
Is the day i found it again.

I hadn't to look further than my paper and my pen.

For sure, writing is a world onto itself--I can say with knowledgeable speculation, that the term living word is real and not just a figure of speech or speculation. Great read! Thank you for your brave honesty and gift. Blessings!
