Paper and Pens
paper and pens
are my only friends
getting on with getting out
words i must say
but can't utter
very loud
if once read back
and not put best
crumple it up
throw in the trash
to start fresh
paper and pens
my only friends
getting on with getting over
past and mistakes
risks i should or should not take
allow me to speak
silent or violent or other
things up i think
loving me more
that i love myself
when i need anything at all
in time they help
paper and pens
carol brown, i hope you do not mind that your poem inspired me to write this
one. i hope it is original.
