The pen's gentle voice

Nicole Pritchard

The pen never lies, it reveals the truth

A reflection of our inner youth 

It writes of pain of joy, of strife

A mirror to our soul's hidden life

 

With every stroke our secrets flow

The page a canvas for our hearts to show

No words are spoken, yet all's revealed

In the silence, our true selves concealed

 

The pen's honest voice whispers what is known

Guiding us to truths we'd rather not own

It brings to light the shadows we've hid

Reminding us of wisdom we've yet bid

 

It doesn't tell us anything new

Just helps us see what what our hearts already knew

The pen never lies, it just gives us sight 

To face the truths we'd rather keep in the night

    If we take the pen to be the media it does in fact lie and distort but if the pen is taken for the soul of a poet and the emotions of a writer it does not. A thought provoking poem. Nicely done
