I grab a pen and paper
When I'm really feeling down
This usually helps
To take away my frown
It usually starts to fade
Within a period of days
And the poems always stop
When I feel I'm back on top
It's kind of hard for me to be open
So I use this method
To help me with coping
I do my best to convert
My feelings into words
But sometimes it comes out
Sounding absurd
But I write how I feel
I assure its real
Every word is sincere
Even the ones right here
I pour out my heart
Into everything I write
So I don't care if you don't like it
Don't bother being polite
Because I've decided to keep writing
It's my spot for mental hiding
