My Pen
The tongue has the power of life and death
The world is not losing color
Our view of the world is dimming
What is not expressed will be depressed
To hold anger in is poison
Expressing it violently can lead to extermination
There needs to be a way to escape from your own wrath
This is why I grab my notebook
I fight back with my pen
