All I Need
One day a teacher asked me a question.
It was one I should have been able to answer in a second
I had gone to her desk and stood their with a troubled expression
She looked up and said in a low voice with very little inflection
"What do you need".
I thought for a second and I proceeded to say:
"All I need is a pen.
Nothing more nothing less
All I need is a pen.
To write away all the stress.
All I need is a pen
To fix this mess
All I need is a pen
To write my wrongs
To prove im more than just T]the same old song
All I need is a pen
Because god knows how many more chances I have left
To make things right
To stand up and fight
To be the next shining light
All I need is a pen
Because a pen cuts deeper than a sword
Cuts heal but not the ones made with the word
So I will write until you been moved to action by every verb
Until every word has been heard
So teacher allow me please
To write the words that will appeal
To the blind and let them see
To the deaf and let them hear
To the emotionless and let them feel
Because without this
I'm nothing
So i say this again
And I will say this without end
All I need
Is a pen."
