Writing

Writing is
a therapy, when 
put into simple terms. I
write because I love to, 
because sometimes 
I have to. I have to
ignore the world and 
build a mental 
barricade against the
news and
political drama and 
all the $#!^ 
that goes on nowadays. 
I am not the master of my story,
I am but a servant; the
pen is the master. It takes me places
no human has dared venture, it shows me
how to grasp hold of the world and 
hold on tight.
Give me a pen and a
sheet of paper; I will 
write something. 
Every time. 
I cannot live
without writing.
