If I Lost My Pen

If I lost my pen,
it would be like
losing my soul
to a heartless monster

If I lost my pen,
you'd see a totally
different side of me
that you'd never think
would be in me,

If I lost my pen,
there would be no way
to keep my composer,
no way to keep my insanity,

Without my pen,
I'm just another screaming fan
at a concert,
lost behind the crowd,
not in the front like I want to be

Just a tiny detail that you can barely see

I think all writers can relate to this poem :) The whole "If I lost my pen" kind of hit me as "If writing suddenly never existed" or "If I was unable to write forever" which enhances the deeper meaning. Every line in this poem scared the crap out of me (In a good way); I imagined never being able to write again, and I realized how soon I would lose myself and fall apart. It really made me think about myself and what writing means to me. Beautiful and amazing job :)

if i was not able to write anymore i would be a different person. I wouldn't know how to cope with things, many people wouldn't be able to . I'd really and honestly go insane.

I would probably try to borrow one from somebody...LOL
This really has a great metaphor behind it. I looked at it as if
what if I lost something that really meant a great deal to me.

If I lost my pen, I'd just die- metaphorically of course. I always have a pen with me, that way I can write anywhere. ^^ Without a pen... I probably have no life :s.
Haha, nice poem, your writing is very good.
