a poet’s anthem.

let me bleed on this paper

let my pen move as reckless

as you have

tear stains on my cheeks

heart slowly cringing

I'm on my last straw

let's hope this pen and paper

redeems me

washes off this pain

washes off this anger

cleanses my mind

cleanses my soul

it's a haze up in there

stroking my pen furiously

across this blank paper

I can't stop

I can't stop

Please don't let me stop

this pen and paper has to save me

this paper has to understand my thoughts

this pen has to feel the wrath

of my hands

Oh God let this pen and paper save me

It's all I have left
