1) The first stanza speaks to the eerie feeling thats dawns upon the author when it is that he feels the need to write, in order to fill the void only his words can.
2) The fear of the unforseen consequences of not carrying out this obligation leads him to commit to writing a piece of literature, though it was not his intention
3)Speaks of the pen and paper being inanimate objects (lifeless & Silent). Conversely, personified, they are described as oppressed and rightless. Meaning, they rather not be used for that purpose. They are being taken advantage of and have no say in whether or not they be used to carry out the work that fear has led the author to pursue. This is a recurring event (As I last knew them)
4)The author believes that they despise him for writing, despite the fact that the author's wishes to write less and that his thoughts are what bring this issue to life, an issue inanimate objects do not have the means nor capacity to think of, lest articulate. He believes they rather him let the canvas remain black and white figiratively instead of attempting to fill the void
5) He does however feel remorse for their supposed situation, now becoming defensive because he believes that they resent him, he asks if it is that his colorful writing ruins the peacefulness of the black and white. He implies that it is fear that they must blame if anything, referring to God as his witness that he rather not deal with the consequences that come about through expressing himself
6)He states the cause of the issue, and asks if it is that he were to comprimise, would there still be, an issue. Would he still never meet the needs of everything that is asked of him.
7)He expresses, (now at a moment of acceptance), that his being is as weighted as his pen, And often as blank regarding the right thing to do as his paper
Most of this is sad, any TW will be at the start of them
I'm a 17 y/o (Started this when I was 15) just wanting to share some of my poetry with people other than my friends :]
(Also feel free to comment any tips and how I could improve on my writing!)
