My Escape

I fill this pen with blood red ink,
The paper bleeds, but helps me think,

I pour my soul upon the sheet,
It stills my heart and slows its beat,

Each word is wrought of misery,
Each space, a breath I cannot breathe,

each stroke, a cut upon my heart,
Each line a wound that leaves a scar,

But when I'm done with this, you see,
I'm dead inside, but finally free.
