a pen has blood of ink
staining the pages forever
a pen is a sword of literature
ripping through line after line
a pen contains a cartridge of venom
poisoning all of my words 
a pen is a fountain of hope
giving life to a million others
a pen is a luminous flashlight
shining light into the darkness
a pen is my magic wand
giving me power beyond my years

take this pen away from me
and i will be nothing more
than a scribbled out name
for a pen without its ink
is a girl without her soul
