My Friend the Pen

Can I tell you of a time 
I had lost the will to rhyme 
All the colors turned gray and black 
On my writing I turned my back 
Nothing seemed to inspire me
So my pen I did not set free 
I went years without inking a word 
I know to some that must sound absurd 
But soon a voice in my head started to shout
You need to get all these thoughts out 
So I reunited with my friend the pen 
The ink had started to flow again 
Every thought I would write 
No matter how ordinary and trite 
So glad I let my pen be free 
Now I'm starting to feel like me 
So thank you to my old friend the pen
I'll never turn my back on you again
