^Ablaze^

Sometimes when my pen hits the paper I start to bleed. 

I scribbled this on a page of notebook paper and decided to post it—just raw and real. 

I wrote this while I felt like everything around me was on fire.

This one hit different when I wrote it.

I wasn’t trying to be polished—I just needed to get the fire out of me before it ate everything.

Anyone else ever write something down just to survive a moment?
