Just a little something I wrote while wasting time between classes.

A little story, and a little rhyme
That is how I spend my time
No books of knowledge for to study
To cloud my thoughts and make them muddy
Just a pen and paper do I need
And open heart to do the deed
To take the pen and write the word
So that my voice may yet be heard

Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you.

now this is very profound indeed, and your right it's just a little time we need to let the pen supply the words that so incessantly runs through our mind if only we could catch the wheels that turn and have them toss out the words that seem to at times get caught up in this cob web, so your right on when you say it's my time. This is really good.

Make your voice heard!  Absolutely!  While learning in classes it is very important to keep a part of your mind clear and unmuddy for just time for yourself.  Keep the clouds away from this part of you!  Short and sweet but also deep, I love the poem.

our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key."

Thanks for replying to my poem.  

RB:  Sometimes all we need is that little bit of time to ourselves to tink to make the words come.  (But I sometimes have to resort to banging my head against my desk to get the wheels turnin.

Waverly: you know how muddled my mind is all the time.  I dont realy need school to make it any more so.  j/k.

Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you.
