words are my life

i see them, i read them, i comprehend them

incorporate, classify, then justify them

find a umbrella and prepare for a brainstorm

pen at attention, paper ready, i push the pen

paper looks like a ink infestation

i start to have a brain fart

music is my motivation, pen is my inspiration

i finish my work, review it, then revise

recite, peer review, then finalize

my fans anticipate my surprise

they read it and become hypnotize

they like it because my words are wise

they love me and my ego rise

but

that doesnt separate from the fact that at night...

nobody can hear my cries

im engulfed in deceit and lies

im diagnosed with guilt and time flies

but

nobody is perfect

alas

i look up at the sun from my standpoint through the skies

i let the sun do its job as i get photosynthesized

i keep my paper and pen at hand, for with it, im energized

as i push the pen and let the ink bleed, my paper becomes crucified

with the emotions i felt from my heart and seen through my eyes

the pain is like writing with both of my hands behind my back tied

though i write....(silence)

as if i have nothing to hide

but this pen

OMG this pen (echoes: pen, pen, pen)

what a mighty hold it has

over me (echoes: me, me, me)

this pen is my inner voice

and the paper is where goes my inner thoughts

this pen is my life

this pen is my inspiration

this pen is my destiny

this pen is me

i cant live without my pen

nor can it live without me (echoes: me, me, me)
