Away From the Tension

I am setting the pen to paper to let
The tension out that is trying to eat
Me alive. It does not let me forget
The pain or anger. It lets me defeat
The enemy and shadows in this
Harsh world. I simply just want to
Ease back from the dark abyss
And sink into the words. The blue
Sky just keeps calling my name.
It is bringing me back to the land
Of the living and light. The same
Darkness has lost its appeal and
Mark under my skin. The worries
Melt away and I am left how I was
Born, nearly naked. Even the flurries
Washes away the tension. The buzz
Finds a way to wear off and I back
Away from the edge with every crack.
