Turn to the Page

turn to the page
pour out your words through the pen
but i can’t get hooked on depression
not again, not again
i have no way to turn things around
i am grabbing at straws
mistaking them for doors

turn to the page
sink into a fantasy book
fiction is real and diction
is only designed to help you feel
i have got no family to turn to
not here, not at this moment
not when i need them the most
no one understands how it seems to me
how it seems to be
and if all this seems a little sad
then i guess i have an unhappy reality



James Garratt – Sunday 8th February 1998
