Write at your Peril

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the everyday life?
Have you ever asked yourself what is the reason why you write?
Have you ever found a place where you feel safe and alive?
I’d like to answer these questions
And you and I may feel alike.

Quite often the overwhelming routine
Makes me feel exhausted
Bad news, indignities, injustice
I urge to escape for a while

I think I found something that can help me
It carries the name of writing
It connects me to the world I’ve ever wish to be

It’s the world of the most beautiful feelings
If you go there you will meet Mrs Peace, Mr. Freedom and Mrs. Anxiety
Oh! and don’t forget to ask for Mrs. Imagination!
she is always over the moon, but she is a nice person.

That is the place where I feel secure
That is the place where I feel alive
That is the world I go
when I escape from my daily life.
