Fountain Pen of Youth


so many voyaged and traveled, in search of immortality i beat Ponce de Leon and the rest, by discovering my hobby. when i write i leave ink on a paper and a mark on the world and even after my heart stops beating my stories will still be told after my death i will still be living the lines that i write will still be giving flowing, dripping and rushing with my essence and in the scratches i make will live my presence. my name may not be remembered, my person may not be missed, but the experience and knowledge i have to offer will forever and always exist. i write to leave a legacy to those who will follow me i write to leave my love of life, emotions of that kind for someone sometime after me to seek out and to find. i write what i feel, what i find to be the truth i write to preserve myself with my Fountain Pen of Youth
