A pen and A page

I wished to write something new and something unique but words never came.

I used to look for pen to write with

a page to write on

a thought to convey

a perfect message to deliver

a perfect story to tell

a beautiful poem to say.

I used to look good people to meet,

a friendly hand to shake,

a sober smile to pass,

a caged soul to free,

a naughty act to do,

and a person to hold.

I have got a broken pen to write with

a dirty page to write on

rotten thoughts to convey

a disgraced message to deliver

dark stories to tell

and funny poems to say

I have good people to meet,

friendly hands to shake,

a fake smile to to pass,

a caged soul to free,

naughty acts to do,

and a person to sell

I found everything

but I didn't realized the cost of that

I have life to live

but lost the right for that

I made many friends

but didn't buy the trust

I made enemies on the way

but they betrayed the hatred

It was more tragic than it seem

I just wanted to live

I just needed to breath

I just wanted a pen and a page   

Author's Note

I wanted to be different, wanted to be extraordinary. I didn't had the perfect beginnings but I was up for a better journey and an outstanding ending but I couldn't make it and the results came so early in the journey. I don't know if I want to stay here in the middle of the sea and cry about what has happened or go back to beginning and start again. . ah let me know about the poem. :|

We all want to be different and in doing so, we end up being the same sometimes. We all have the same deep rooted wants and needs, you wrote it so eloquently, your words leap off the page at me....I love the repetition of the pen and the page. We as poets pour our hearts and soul out to be free and share a part of ourselves with others so we might be heard and/or understood. Wonderful breath of self truths and honesty. You are 'extraordinary' in this write.

I loved the poem! Universal story of coming of age. The truth is not pretty but it is not hopeless either...
Good job!

Ya me too,But you are wearing a poets name well,a country's too,small island of nutty bicyclists,keep to the cool side of the road,and be your worlds own sponge, then ring it out on us.

You hear a lot of times that every thing has been said or written before. To a degree it is true, but what makes your poem unique and what quiets the critics is your own individuality. How you and I perceive the same feeling or image is totally different in our own respects, and because of that, use that individuality to your advantage. I always remind myself this when I am writing. Have a great new year, and thank you for your read request ,Maan.

Being different is being extraordinary to me. The poem was an good read. The poem gives off a sense of pain. Its ok if you don't have a positive ending not all poems do.

Strangely I think we all conformist , we want the same things the bands we follow the parties , the dresses we wear , the white picket fence. Then life throws us a curve ball . As we age we celebrate our difference our uniqueness. It's a blessing and writing that's just the crowning glory the cherry on the cake. Lovely deep write.

I can relate to this poem really well. This is kinda like the story of everyone's life and you found the words we all wanted to say, but never had them stuck on the tip of our tongue to scared to jump off

I say you seem to be unique and an individual just fine enough. The way you write, one would word as being improper, however it has a way of growing on you, and rather quickly as this is the one and only poem that I have read of yours. Keep it up, and if change at all, only for your better.

Many of us are lost in this wild ocean of life...Flotsam and jetsam I sometimes feel that it is the pen that keeps me afloat at times.....I do know that I could not do without it..as silly as my poems are they keep me sane
