In This Pen
in this pen
i hold the world
i have power
power beyond the strength
of the men at the round table
power beyond anything
imaginable, fathomable
but with this power
i must ration myself
for IF i don't, I shall
receive lashings and hurts
in this pen
I hold the world
i have power
power to speak my mind,
even if no one is listening
power to set free my emotions
so i don't eternally com bust
but with this power
i must be careful
for i might hurt someone
someone i love
i don't want that
