in my life
i would know who i was
for to write down
what i feel
is to define
who i am
as i find out
who'll i'll become
in the scribbles
of the day
there comes meaning
to the madness
and with row upon row
the weight lessens
until i can see again
taking pen
to patient paper
may seem like fool's folly
but it gets me through the darkness
of a life
until the light
favours me again
