Pen & Pad

I run away from my problems,
especially when I can't solve them,
I escape with my pen and pad,
Forgetting all the problems I've ever had,
The joy and freedom of the great escape,
The ability to control, without paying a toll,
 I can shape and manipulate,
Create the story, then conjugate,
To empower my tale,
allowing my villain to lose or prevail,
My pen is the source of my power
as the pads is my guarded tower,
I realize that my life can be written,
All my problems can be smitten,
My problems can be scratched away,
For those problems are hardly here to stay
