Refuge

I'd lose my mind if it wasn't for the art,
for the words I'd leave unspoken if it wasn't for the poetry
It is a place of refuge, between these pages
Where my hands once laid barren
As I toyed with words of lesser meaning
That pined for someone I am not in love with now.
My mind has always been a loud place
And it often speaks in stanzas,
Mostly about you and the sky
And it beckons me to write the thoughts he never appreciated anyhow.

I want to write like Sylvia, like Elizabeth, like Kafka
And I fear that I am too similar to them
Searching for answers beneath the sun and coming home to no one
It is the only thing that disturbs my peace.

I do not know why I find loneliness in the only thing that brings me comfort.
