Therapy From My Pad

Hello Alex, today we're going to talk about your problems and the act you hide behind I'm able to see the pain in your eyes, no matter how big your smile shines What you hide from the world, you talk to me about when you write on me I can't talk back to you, or force you to express what you don't want to, that's what you like about me You give me all because I can't hurt you, so your heart is safe Your blood falls on the paper and proceeds to scar the page You scribble out a lot of thoughts and that hurts me Because I like what you write even when you think it isn't worthy I give you the ability to talk about exes you miss without telling them You talk about the nightmare you're living, so if they do see it, they know to not buy the dream you're selling them I just wish you could learn to trust people the way you trust me But when I'm not accepting your words, you throw me on the floor and scrunch me You pick up the pen and talk about the demons that are walking with you You open up to me and express it well I provide you a little bit of heaven and take you away from hell Thank you for listening Alex, this was your pad and I enjoyed talking to you

I have always felt that pen and paper understands me better than a person could. It's hard to talk about the demons that haunt us with people who may not understand. Thank you for sharing and wishing you well.

Without a doubt, I think once someone picks up a pen and pad, its the best and easiest way to beat our demons, too many people judge without understanding, wish you well too
