Sometimes I ignore writing for days,
and then just when I'm about to explode
....
I pick up my journal and write like my life depends on it
....
By the end I'm empty yet filled with a new purpose.

The words bury me until the only thing free is a hand and then I'm possessed by the need to feel and a pen becomes my only friend and savior.

And at the end...

I am set free, allowed to fly another day until I've consumed a new fill and am tipping once again off a ledge only seen by me.
