I Write for My Sanity
Stranded on an island all alone
Without a comfy bed, I sleep on stone
Reaching insanity without a friend
I've come to realize this is my end
It doesn't mean that I shouldn't fight
I strive to win the day with all my might
I just might come out alive
For every day my wish is to survive
I reach for my pen and book
In which I write alongside the brook
I convince myself that it's not in vain
For I know that writing keeps me sane
Some days I find it difficult to cope
With the idea that there's no hope
To release the stress of my plight
I sit down every day to write
I am afraid and I'm so far away
From the people that tell me it'll be okay
So I try every day to keep my humanity
For I cannot survive without my sanity
