Blank Pages

Blank Pages

“The past is not something to dwell on, but to learn from, something I’ve recently learned about.”

Born a pen with blank pages

Scribble beyond scribble

Things written and drawn never changes

Knowing that there are blank pages ahead

For some, a reminder anything is possible

 

Pens that try to rewrite are misled

This goes for pens of all ages

Previous pages cannot be changed with scribbles

this only damages the imagination;

Those pens live in a world of pretend

 

Their grasp of reality starts to shrivel

Things they may regret on their deathbed

Flip the pages over towards new stages

Even though hope is the size of a thimble

Turning pages, like breaking through cages

 

Write a draw with color instead

let those pages act as a symbol

Of prosperity; that should embed

To pens all over, color is contagious

Knowing hope grows little by little

 

When ink fades, coming to its end

Aware, it reflects on its stages

Even though some chapters weren't all giggles

It gives the pen distinctives throughout its pages

So that others may see a life well read

I come from a huge family that is originally from the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Even though I was not brought up on the island I still carry the culture through old teachings, music, and traditions. I have learned that differences should be celebrated and shared rather than diminished and hidden, even when coming from a society that says otherwise.
