When my walls start to crumble

And I can't let out a helpless grumble.

When my eyes can't perceive any light

And absolutely nothing feels right.

I hold the pen with a grip so tight

That I start to summon some unknown might

As my ever-willing hands begin to write

'Bout the emotion birthing my obscene mental sight.

In those moments I'm thankful for pens and paper

Because they are the ones that start to shape her

Into a steady unwavering structure

They make my happiness a tangible sculpture.

They make my sanity less obscure

And sew a mental suture.
