Pen & Paper serves as no Savior

I write -

Sometimes I wish

that I could relinquish everything

all at once. My thought process,

maybe then when the words

are on the page

will they reappear, showing themselves

as the demons they are, but

it's never that simple -

First showing themselves

anything, but still hiding

their true colors till I conceive myself

that I am my own demons.

I write -

sometimes I wish

I could write all the negative down

for every pen stroke

it gets erased from my mind.

It doesn't work that way,
