Get cheated on

Fall for somebody who can’t love you back

Have a breakdown/ a depression

In an abundancy of lack

 

Set sail upon a voyage

On a prison ship of demons

Your hands chained up in rhymes

While they keelhaul all your reasons

 

Drown yourself in sorrow

While you’re swimming for the light

Evaporate the line that divides

Your day and night

 

Find your truths upon a page

The ones that you kept hidden

Let them whisper through your pen

All the things taboo-forbidden

 

There’s no tips for being a writer

But it helps to lose your mind

Maybe serendipity or bad luck?

It’s in our madness -words we find.
