Locking yourself up with such things, letting them stir, using these pure psychic creations as raw material, and deciding, each time, how much or little you’re going to participate in your own act of creation, just what you’ll stake, what are the odds, just how far are you going to go – that’s called being a writer. And you do it alone in a room.


Take me away,
to a place
where I can finally be alone.

So far away,
to a place
that  is the furthest thing from home,

Somewhere I can be free.
No more demons chasing after me.

Take me away,
to a place where I can learn to breathe.

The air is suffocating.
My heart keeps on breaking.
Is there something you want from me?

I’m running out lifelines.
There’s no time on my side.
It’s my life,
but I don’t control anything.

Take me away,
to a place
where I can finally be alone.

So far away,
to a place
that  is the furthest thing from home,

Somewhere I can be free.
No more demons chasing after me.

Take me away,
to a place where I can learn to breathe.

Live how I want.
Say what I want.
I can finally be me.

I can laugh how I want.
Love who I want.
I’m trying to make you see…..

That I’m not happy here.
I was never happy here.

Can.
You.
Please?

Take me away,
to a place
where I can finally be alone.

So far away,
to a place
that  is the furthest thing from home,

Somewhere I can be free.
No more demons chasing after me.

Take me away,
to a place where I can learn to breathe.
