The Power in the Pen

This is a poem about my writing and what it means to me.

When I write the words, they take me elsewhere.
Away from the world and everyday life,
To a world where I have the power to make anything happen.

My heart warms, I feel no more stress.
No pain, no anger, just joy and power.
I lazily consider what word would best describe this or that.

Nothing can break me, no-one can take me,
In my stories, the characters belong to me.
Worlds where anger reign, blood pools, and fire rains.

This is the joy that writing brings,
And it is certainly my favorite thing.

You know....even though your words are so simple I think this is one of my fave poems. I suppose i should tell you why:).... its simple but its told without colloquialism. Its the truth and its a poem by itself and it has decent flow. You put into words what we all....word?????......do..... Im gonna stop bangin on. I loved it.
