When I get in one of those moods,
And don't know how to write that easy,
I can escape reality in so many ways,
And one of them, is through fantasy.
Writing, painting, reading or doing what I like,
These give me all the time so much pleasure,
And when I make my friendship bracelets also,
They're barriers,I use in my head with,much leisure.
I'm so grateful that God gave me a brain,
So I can think and imagine, all I choose,
But still prefer watching nice pictures than any,
Of those news that creates,only,nightmares and blues.
And then when with my heart,to Him I pray,
And ask Him to help me pay more attention,
Then He helps me cope better, with all the tensions,
That from the exploits,this world,everyday,gives me.
