Your Pen

Your pen is your weapon, shield, and outlet You expose your heart in every line that your ink drips When no one understands you, you turn to the thing that understands you the most And in your words you describe the things in which you would like to boast Yet you approach each subject with humility Showing forth your understanding of a corrupt humanity Most cannot see nor can they fathom the waters that run deep within You do not vocalize it, the deeper meaning subliminally hidden Unwritten are the unrecognized emotions that prohibit the growth of your skills and the growth of your spirit Your audience is limited because you speak the truth and not many want to listen With every finished piece you reveal who you are deep inside You release it all there is nothing that you hide Only the open mind can truly see That in everything you do you reveal what’s underneath

Love this Brittany! Very often we tend to hide what it is we truly want to say because we are afraid to isolate others. The use of subtext is a way to release pent up emotions but it can only go so far. Very nicely done!
