I've grasped my pen,

in hand,

watching clouds go by.

It's peaceful, I thought.

What could go wrong? 

But I know better now,

grass tickling my toes.

I stare blankly,

lost in your worried gaze.

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you so sad?

What's wrong?

Nothing, he replied. 

I started to write on paper, with my pen,

Help me.
