Understanding,
Care,
Love,
Belonging,
Trust.
Things which I barely
ever got.
Yet, as I held my pen,
It became my sword.
A sword that pierced
into souls.
The pen in my hands
and the words written on paper
taught me how to understand.
The more I wrote,
the more I understood.
I then got myself a friend.
Lovingly holding my hand,
she looked into my eyes
and smiled a smile I was born to feel.
A friend I loved more than I loved myself.
A friend that caressed me when I cried.
A friend that gave me an escape
from this mad, mad world.
