Freedom from Trials

When I can sit down and write. Write my heart out. Bleed onto paper.

When I curl up with a book. Whether new or an old favourite, it doesn't matter. A good story cures.

When I am upon the stage. No matter what my problems, they dissipate as I become someone else.

When I listen to the music. Classical or rock or opera or jazz or indie. The music pulses in my soul, lifts me above my worries.

And with these things, I am free.
