Paper To Pain

Sometimes a little laughter goes a long way.
Sometimes…it covers fear.
Need a little time spent elsewhere
Time to disappear…

Scribbled into notebooks
Chipped away at caves
There’s little more that keeps me sane
Putting pen to paper & paper to pain.

Paper to pain.
My escape from the grain.
Keeping me sane.
Paper to pain.

Words unfurl like rounded edges
Of a knife too sharp from good intentions.
Pushing away all I’ve seen, done & said.
Replaced by a world with my soul…not dead.

Silence or rage.
Get outta the cage.
Mutate the supposedly sage.
Vacant feeling from the day?
Keeping the demons at bay…
Paper to pain.

Sometimes a little laughter goes a long way.
Sometimes…makes you cry.
Need a little time spent elsewhere
Sometimes, I got to fly…

Chiseled into notebooks
Chipped away at caves
There’s little more that keeps me sane
Putting pen to paper & paper to pain.
