Markers

we build the walls around us
without laying one single brick
upon another, our confinement
is in our mind state, Pen State
or State Pen, I'm in a Pen State
of mind all the time, as long as
there are walls still standing, that
 I can not get over, past or around
I will be breaking ground to tunnel
under, to reach the other side
agony has never stopped me
suffering only made me angry
mad enough to do something
I believe in miracles but I will
not sit still waiting for one to
happen in my life, where there
is life, there is light, where there
is light there's fire, where there is 
fire there is strength, where there
is strength, there is power, power
to change and change things
I say, "I can't do that" I will never
do it and if I never try, I'll go on
through life regretting the chance
I had and did not take, something 
that so many before us took to
their graves, you don't know
personally who hold this pen
but the one who holds this pen
has  been, dead and back again
to live again, try again, sin again
cry again, win again, lose again
win again, love and hate again
forgive and live again, the best medicine
life is a B.I.T.C.H and will only
be nice if you're nice to it
