Orange pen

Orange pen

curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page

fulfilling my orders

moved by my hand.

 

Orange pen

flying, soaring, leaping

dancing across the page

my words, my style, my choice.

 

Orange pen

looking so professional and complete

adding depth to the blank white paper

creating a beautiful thing.

 

Orange pen

telling my thoughts

my hopes and dreams and potentials

my losses and nightmares and what-ifs

spilling words onto paper

telling my story.

 

Orange pen

a final, last period

capped,

set aside,

notebook

closed.

  • How come?

    Are you aware

    what you did?

    For the third time?

    Once again?

    Do you know

    how I feel?

    Ignored

    overlooked

    how come?

    How come you didn't put in my effort?

    writing

    this is my routine;

    come home from school

    open to this the first chance I get

    write.

  • Questions

    I'm

    confused

    did I do it

    what happened?

    You were melancholy earlier

    what is going on

    what did I miss

    was it me?

     

    You talk in subtle hints

    but what are you hinting at?
