My pen is the key, the way
Watch it move along the paper
To reveal what I felt today
Something that is much deeper

My pen now dancing in a rhythm
Picks up pace when my mind is set
This disease has its symptom
And I have been caught in its net

My pen becomes violent quickly
As I work harder for your understanding
The words drawn out is a bit prickly
My emotions seem to be expanding

My pen slows and comes to a stop
Masterpiece finished for you to read
Look fast and start from the top
Know of my pen’s nasty deed

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
