I want to live and write on the sheet
My future is my own, and I own it with a pen
I am scared for my world, I only know how to write
All I need is to write my way, and on my face a smile
I make the music with my works, and letters is the sound
I want this to be mine, I want it to be my life
Within the darkness, I try to figure out my life
How can make a living, with ink on a sheet
Is this my fall, and my screams the aching sound
I hope that I don’t fall beneath my own pen
A sense of fear takes over, only frowns, with no smile
My living, my outcome, determined by my will to write
How I stress, how I toil with my need to write
I feel as though I have no other use in my life
I see choices, no need of happiness or to smile
There is no focus to make my life with this sheet
My hand trembles, fingers cave, as I view the falling pen
I hate this noise, the bell tolls with such loud sound
I wake, the alarm shouts an obnoxious sound
I feel no need to eat, no need to write
I use no fork, I use no spoon, and I chose to overlook the pen
I am crowded with duty, and must go on with life
My life is no story, no book, or chapters read on a sheet
I go through my days, with nothing more than wits and no smile
The days go slow, and I see boys and girls smile
For I second I cloud out noise, music, and sound
I find my journal on my desk, and look to one blank sheet
I don’t know where to begin, I don’t know what to write
I try to discover, to uncover the meaning of my life
Through words, and phrases, marked by my pen
Through days of unrest, and hand cramped by the pen
I sit back satisfied, and see me reflection smile
I don’t know my purpose or my meaning to life
I listen to nature, and the symphonies come with sound
I may be this or that, but I will forever write
The story of my life, immortalized on a sheet
This sheet inked with my pen
I write and forever smile
Through sound and ink is my life
