The easiest way to escape is to die
So that’s why I try
They send me to people
Therapists who think I’m a fool
But what do I care
For the world my death would be fair
Gone from the face of this planet
So I tell them, “Can it!”
To escape is to die
Many people ask why
But I’ve found another way
It’s to find your love today
That person’s your anchor for this land
Being in love, not dead, is grand
Go and find him or her
Loving will solve your problems, I'm sure

I wrote this because sometimes I don't feel like I have a place in this world, but I get around certain people and I belong.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
