I turn the pages…

Because dread it,

Those dark thoughts,

I just can’t rid of them,

That tell me I should do it,

Suggest looking in cupboards…

For things that bring an end,

I turn the pages knowing,

I might find words relating,

Or something uplifting,

Or at least muffle my brain,

And keep me safe tonight,

My book I hold…

Provides more than verses and prose.
