Putting my pen 2 paper after a long delay,I wonder
What xactly has been the matter with me,
Or my mind;-the past few days?
Concentration,which has always been
My forte-through the long struggle of school,
Seems suddenly to have left me
In the lurch-helpless,troubled.all alone....
Streching b4 me-4 miles on end
Lies my endless syllabus,and here I remain
Sitting at my table,thinking of useless things.
Am I not really normal?(whats that anyway?)I ask myself
For all my life,what xactly have I done
Perfectly,to my own satisfaction?
Trying 2 be jack-of-all-trades,and mastering none
Always proud of hearing ill-deserved praise,
Never bothering to question my heart and see
Whether they were true or not.
Believing myself to be different,always
I kept away 4m those who could have been dear 2 me-
Achieving nothing in the end
But loneliness,frustration,ticket 2 a peculiar world
Where few get 2 see the real me.
(I was proud of that 2!)
But was I wrong?I really dont know 4 sure,
Perhaps this query would always remain 4 me
An unanswered one,leaving me confused
For I know few in this world who can give
Something of an honest answer 2 me.

Someone...
Someone holds me in his power
Someone imprisons my soul,
Someone governs my minds and desires,
Someone yields control
Over my life,nay,-over what I call
My very existence
In this world.
Yet to call this mighty someone my gaoler
Would surely be the gr8est offense of all-
For he gives me the freedom of my heart's desire
Such freedom as I have never known at all
B4...he took over my life.He refreshes my mind when I need him most,
Giving me strength when all abandon me;
He keeps the fire burning in my soul
When gales have all but taken over my world
Bringing with them,a dreary cold
That threatens to numb my heart.
Where did I find such a someone,u ask?
In reply,I simply laugh at ur face;
For finding was never my strong point,u see-
So it had 2 b done 4m the other side;
When least xpected,he came into my life
Gave it a meaning byond all possible dreams.
And oh, what impudence!The world still asks
The nme of this someone special 4 me;-
I know notwhat he calls himself,4 this
Is something he doesnt confide in me.
But of course,I keep a name 4 him
Even though its not really necessary,
For soulmates never need a name.
But still,in the hope that he might come 2 u,
If u really must know who he claims 2 be
I might whisper in ur ears that he
Likes the humble name
Of......."A Pen".
