This pen
I'm tired of writing, never living
And seeing through eyes so paper thin
I'm tired of writing, never caring
Keeping all the good stuff in
I'm tired of writing, never caring
or feeling a smile caress my face
I'm tired of writing, unforgiving
hating myself in this fall from grace
I'm tired of writing, never loving
wanting the best for all but me
I'm tired of writing, never dying
because in the end i just might see
That i was all these things
but in my mind
This pen left everything
behind
And seeing through eyes so paper thin
I'm tired of writing, never caring
Keeping all the good stuff in
I'm tired of writing, never caring
or feeling a smile caress my face
I'm tired of writing, unforgiving
hating myself in this fall from grace
I'm tired of writing, never loving
wanting the best for all but me
I'm tired of writing, never dying
because in the end i just might see
That i was all these things
but in my mind
This pen left everything
behind

I like how this is so very real, and how you're kinda being sucked away by it. You know, you had alot of good repitition but every time it was alittle different. I liked that! Until like, line -5. you repeated the same thing twice? I dunno if you meant to, but that was the only thing I saw wrong with the poem.

oh wow...no i didt mean to...the second one should be " im tired of writing, never giving" thank you for pointing that out
I don't know if it was intentional, but I like how the repetition mimics the redundancy that life can be. I especially love the closing lines.
