The Pen

Somethign i just noticied

The Heart shattered into pieces.

I made those peices into a fine pen.

I wrote with spilt blood as my ink.

I created works of literature that were thought provoking and beautiful.

Praised by strangers, it was as if I had stepped into another world.

A world of thoughts and flow mixing together to make my art.

I saw myself as a beginner, a novice, a fool.

These strangers said I was no amateur.

How could I believe them? I had only just begun.

The months passed and my pen stopped, my art ceased to continue.

However, what was already made will be forever.

Now I find myself with pen in hand again. 

I want to make the words again.

I want to see that praise!

Why won't the hand move? Why won't the pen write?

Why am I only reminded of pain?

No....no....NO! 

I will not surrender to this pain even if it means I must force the pen to write.

The art may be crude but I will refine it.

I will remake the pen.

Yes, The Pen is the secret.

Author's Note

an attempt to return to writing as the poem implies

Reviews

[Livana Lowell]

The idea is to master the pain and use it your advantage, to express on paper, making it bold and another work of art.

The pen is the key because a writer writes, and when he/she does, the anxiety and the fear has a chance to overtake and conquer.

So I like the repetioned word no adding passion and bravery to the poem. A writer can truly relate giving the poem crediblity.

I enjoyed the poem and I complment you for sharing.

very nicely written

Hah...
I've felt something like this before. Though I don't think I would have described it like this. I enjoyed it regardless though, I loved the idea immensely. I hope to read other things that you're writing. Now that you're trying to write again, that is.
Hope to see you more often! Hah... A nice piece, it certainly portrayed emotions that you, I suppose, are feeling. And that is the whole point of poetry, isn't it?

I love it. I've felt that way several times, and as for the pain indicated by the poem, I suggest that you use the pain. Make the pain into words and make those words paint a picture. Very nicely written.
