this scandalous pen writes much nonsense
a dialogue of utter madness
from whence come these thoughts
these words, these plots
is it the mind or the pen
these words have wrought
the rhyme, the rhythm
like the heart beat of mine
the words however
but snip-its of time
my time it cannot be
an insane proposition
an insane me
oh horrible, deceitful pen
go back from whence you came
go to deep and dark a borough
and make me not your whore
let me know my love
let me pen my thanks
let me understand my grace,
my destiny, my chance
be not of me
leave a smile in place
know it and claim it
and take it away
let my dreams, thoughts
be sweet and full of faith
let me scream
let me shout
let me write of a place
where you are not welcomed
you will be erased
be not of me
take not hold
claim stake elsewhere
or disappear from this world
scrupulous pen
be not my friend
not my comfort
not my sense
not my underlying bent
be not my drugs, my horror, my friend
I banish you
I banish you
I banish you to the end!

Very Nice
Awesome vocabulary, very interesting -
Very Interesting! I liked the way this flowed..it juttered like someone writing frantically! The language (to me anyway) seemed to be quite emotionless, as if the writer is avoiding exposing their dark secret and blaming the pen for the expose! Great write!
