Comfort Bound Cay

a poem by

SketchWriterJess

If people spent time

Doing something constructive, joyful, and satisfying

Instead of destructive...
How would the world be?

All destructive behavior

Leads to people, items, and places

Being destroyed…

Nothing better,

Nothing brilliant…

Not even change.

Why do people destroy

In order to gain something they don’t have?

Why not take

The time to build up joy…a thing

Something, that gets better the more it’s done?

These questions

Are solutions to children

And even new adults;

During my toughest school days where

I endured bullying and misunderstood my classmates so many times when they were just joking around I’d come home from school angry, exhausted, and alone.

I’d think of the mistakes I made.

I escaped to my comfort bound sketchbook or notebook.

I’d draw or write my dreams and real life happenings.

Even as a new adult,

I continued to sketch and write despite living with pain in my head and heart.

I think…believe

People are afraid to

Hold on to the best times in

Life for fear of losing

The ability

To get the best times

Back.

I hope that

One day people

From any background,

Will be able

To go to their own

Comfort bound cay…

Any blank or lined journal will do.

Everyday.

Every night.

Getting

To where I

Must go.

Leaving should behind.
