My Creativity Is My Refuge

When I feel hurt by words and behaviour, rough and acidic That lacerate my heart deep within I take refuge in my creativity There my pen weeps instead of my eyes. When I feel alone and forlorn My pen and paper call me with love I get a safe shelter under them I pour out my emotions without restraints There my words flow rather than my eyes In their company I feel so secured. To the loud voice, condemnation or injustice My pen and paper answer them in silence They heal my wounds like a soothing balm They guide me to an enlightened world. Sometimes I find nobody to tell my success story I take to my pen and papers and scribble down few lines To motivate myself which give me courage to stride ahead. Pen and papers are my best friends They are friends in my need They wipe out my bruises and tears They are selfless and Never ask for anything in return. I hope my journey will always be joyful and smooth With my faithful friends Pen and Papers. @ Bharati Nayak
