I ran away from home
just to be alone,
My words had disappeared,
My heart was singed and seared.
My mind was in confusion,
My life became illusion,
I needed inspiration,
A reason for creation.
It took a lengthy stay
On an island far away.
On Kos, an isle of Greece,
I found my inner peace.
Each day my words broke free,
As I cleansed within the sea,
Breaking free the chains that bound,
Kept me prisoned to the ground.
My soul in freedom took flight,
and in haste I began to write,
of tears, of anger, of pain,
that rendered me insane,
searching for a soul,
wanting to be whole.
