Subject: Pen and Paper

Pen and Paper

Give me a pen and paper
While you lock me in for days
Did you consider what it'd do to me?
This child that you raised.

From with in this pen and paper
A poem I will conceive,
I'll write about my departure,
And just why I had to leave.

Or maybe, with this pen
I'll pretend… that it be, a knife
I'll carve the words upon my wrists
Attempting, to give them life

So maybe while I'm in your jail…
(I'm just giving you, a warning)
Don't give to me, the pen and paper
'Cause you may not find me…
(breathing in the morning).

I wonder what you will think of me
Once I have gone away,
Would you sit and cry a million tears
Cause you had wished, that I would stay

Would you be so very sorry ?
Would you say for me a prayer?
Or would you, go on living
Never, to shed a single tear.

Give me my pen and paper
And say to me goodbye
I’ll leave you now forever
Looking for castles in the sky.

Never give up to them (my sisters)
In the way that you did me
Cause they would soon be running, too
Looking, for a love that’s for free.

But if you find yourself, so sorry
And that I’m in your heart some day
Then please get to me a message
And I’ll get back to you some way.

Please mother don’t you think of me
as that child that is weak
I just can’t go on living with
The things.. I dare not speak



I had kept for you, the secrets
But your heart, was still not bought
I struggled through your battles
(I still loved you as I fought).

I waited for you forever
Just wanted what was right
still you let them in, they came for me
in the middle of the night.

Give to me my pen and paper
My voice, my friend, my need
Flowing ink, that’s set to paper
Is like the wound, allowed to bleed

Please mother say I prayer for me
The child that you never knew
Please tell him that I’m worthy
( I did the best that I could do).
