My voice is gone
With society ripping at my throat
To conform
To be one of them
To have no mind
Stripped of freedoms
To have someone think for you
To have no feelings or emotions
It is a tragedy
But i havethis pen
Which weighs ten tons
To struggle with
This struggle is worth it though
For i am free
For my voice is heard
For i can truly be me
No hiding a voice
A name or a person can hide
But the voice can echo for miles
Or be heard around the world
This pen of mine
Is my voice
And knows
My dreams, my love, my thoughts
And it can speak
On my behalf
And scream when i suffer
Or cry out of joy
My classmates do not know
They find it weird that i value a pen
But they do not understand
It is me
It is my life
My past
My present
And is ready to write the future
So value it
And ignord the ignorant
They are but fools
Of knowing the difference between gold and a pen's true value
