Notebook Poem by Diana Ballesteros

The only escape I have, is mine notebook, where I dare to write every emotion, where I dare to keep every color of my thoughts, Lockup.
Many just see a black and white notebook, but rarely someone seen colors hidden away, nevertheless the colors are dark, deep, and full of pain. Some thoughts turn into light color and bring a smile to me.
What I write is what I don't dare say, what I don't dare show many. My weakness, my fears, my emotions. My pride guards them and this is only mine to escape from the pain, confusion and even false hope.
This is where my emotions land and are kept safe. In this notebook I have written heartbreaking points in my life, ghost that still haunt me, and demons that keep me awake at night. I write and most poems aren't in my dark corner, their pain is too much that they felt the fire and I threw them away.
My notebook is me. These pages became my world, became mine safe heaven, even if all I write is about feeling broken. Maybe one day my colors will change and become light colors and hints of laughter and tears may be gone, but for now it just a dark Corner of my heaven. Where my Ghosts, demons and nightmare can rest.
