Beautiful Madness
He sat in front of his laptop
in a tattered robe
and unkept hair.
Sometimes he wore
different hats to get in touch
with his characters.
He muttered about bad
lines then deleted
a whole page of writing.
Chain smoking, mumbling to himself
while pacing the attic room
then back to his desk again.
He looked like a beautiful madman.
But I saw myself in him.
Being a writer myself,
he made me question my own sanity.
