If you are lonesome
And want something to do
Just pick up a pencil
And let it do the writing for you
The words will keep you company
No matter how big or small
They can be funny, or stupid, or dark
It doesn't matter at all
Write about anything
Happy or sad
Write about darkness
Or things that make you glad
Pretend you're a blade of grass
Swaying in the breeze
Or your brothers and sisters around you
Or even a tree
Imagine from another's point of view
Person, place, thing, or idea
Write about your inside passion
Whether it blind, or able to seea ( A lil' humor might spark an idea)
Oh, it doesn't have to rhyme
Nor flow perfectly
You can share it with others
Or just keep it secretly
But just remember . . .
If you are lonesome
And want something to do
Just pick up a pencil
And let it do the writing for you!
