Plunging my dreams into the abyss,
To only make yours real,
I know I'm something in this world,
but I'm not a tool to be used.

But I'm a tool by the looks of it,
but did someone tell you that tools can maim too?
if I was a tool what would I be?

Shears cut,
but I tut-tut.
knife kills,
but I can fill.
whetstones sharpen,
but my heart isn't always hardened.
Bookmarks remind,
but I define.

If I was a tool to be picked up what would I be?

Screwdrivers take parts apart,
but I depart.
Monkey wrenches can fix,
but my clock ticks.
hammers smash and put things in their places,
but I dash and go through phases.
Pencils mark,
but I can embark.

So remind me again what was I? 

Pickaxes chip,
but I can rip.
Drills make holes,
but I dole.
Shovels can dig,
but I can renege.

I don't know who you were fooling.

Shears can cut wool and make art,
Knives can cut the food that I helped put on the table,
Whetstones can make new things,
Bookmarks leave me a place in a different world,
Screwdrivers can put things together piece by piece,
A monkey wrench like me can be an obstacle in your plans,
Hammers can nail things together as you did to me,
Pencils can leave a mark in history such as my words,
Pickaxes can make me some money instead of asking for it,
Drills can make a masterpiece,
Shovels will make my place on the earth.

Am I a tool or a human?

I have no idea anymore due to a lack of emotions.
