Raise your pen

 


Raise high, your pen

it holds a world within,

it has bled for our sins.

It has felt our tears drip

down its body

to the page beneath,

leaving behind pools of faded ink,

stained with every emotion

that we hold under scarred skin.

 

It's felt you

holding it crushingly tight,

when fear has got

Its grasp on you and its

hold is vicelike.

It's felt you cling on for dear life,

when the indicators

are blinking left,

whilst you turn right.

Feelings rife with the sting

of burning hurt, a burning heart.

That fire that tears apart

every memory and sets it alight.

 

Raise your pen

it is worth more

than an army of men.

The words it spins

can change the world

if we just let them.

It contains every

thought you've ever written,

every love note

you wrote, then kept hidden.

Every time you’ve talked

about the hurt within,

when you let hope take you in,

then sat quietly

as it punched you

across the chin.

 

Raise your pen,

every word,

every scar is

buried somewhere

deep in its skin.

The words that live

in the static between

fingertips and that inky nib,

they contain every feeling.

Every blessed moment.

Every kiss. Each time

you thought you'd lost

only to come back with a win.

 

So, lift that pen high,

set it apart from the debris of life,

give it space to bask in the light.

Let it witness the love of moonlight

and the quietness of midnight.

Then hold it tight,

and write.

Let the words become

unjumbled from your mind,

finding their place on the page,

signed with a kiss

to share the love inside.
