Ready For War

The weight on my shoulders is more heavy than yours 
Bipolar so I'll never be steady and secure
My pen will leave Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy on floors
Get your weapon ready, because my pen is loaded and ready for war

I'm what would have happened if Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
My strength has been tested, But I still have enough to grin
I may be wounded and scarred, but I'm still here
Double Homicide, because on the way to murder my demons I had to kill fear

I don't have a favourite pen, I've learned to not get attached
Because you can lose anything and never get it back 
I feel that way about everything 
My writing can be off at times and it could do with some steadying 

Some will use the same pen and refill the ink
But if they lose the pen they'll be paranoid and think they have writers block
But I don't think it exists, or maybe I feel like that because I write a lot
I've learned it doesn't matter if your cup is half full or empty, because you can always spill the drink

The world on my shoulders is more heavy than yours
Bipolar so I'll never be steady and secure
My pen will leave Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy on floors
Get your weapon ready, because my pen is loaded and ready for war

Lyric Man July 7, 2018 at 5:56 PM Hey Alex, this is another excellent free verse.. I often see my pen as a potential weapon as well! Alex Duffy July 12, 2018 at 2:14 PM Thank you, I think all poets/writers should see the pen as a weapon, it's our strongest tool
