Pencil Hurt


Sitting there I prayed for light

Sitting there I prayed for pain

Sitting there I held a pencil

In my hand a quivering tool

Shaking, wailing,

Calling my a fool.

Even my own possessions,

Hated me.

Wanted to see me gone.

The more I tried to control my pencil,

The more I felt that I was wronged.
