Her pen meets paper

About all of her emotions and their mismanagement,

Memories collected,

Feelings less than content,

Documented subconsciousness,

It can't dismiss moments spent

Pondering past discretions.

Creates a lesson plan

That stemmed from old one night stands and drowning ships,

Feels like calculus trying to solve the same problems again.

It skips the part where guilt tries to write itself in,

Her pen writes to win,

To channel the god that resides inside her skin,

It's always been her strongest weapon.
