The Pen
By Reyzeljan Josef delos TrinosWhat if someone gave you a pen? With this pen, you can do many things. You can write, sketch, scribble, doodle and draw masterpieces that could be understood and admired by everyone. But you don’t know how long the ink would last. It could dry up after writing meaningless phrases – or it could outlast its worth-long enough for you to make something that can be remembered forever.
No one tells you to use this pen. Instead of using it and taking the chance for it to blot, you can just leave it in a shelf or drawer, on display, where the beauty of this pen could be admired. Not knowing that the things this pen could make would be a dozen times more beautiful than the pen itself. You can just leave it there, where it would die, dry up, unused. But if it happens that you’re in the mood and decide to use this pen, how would you use it? Will you plan before you start to write? Will your plans be so huge and extensive that you’ll never get to the part that you’ll finally use it? Or you will just take it; let the ideas flow off your mind freely. Let the straights and curves be symbols of how you feel at the moment. Let the lines show who you are and what you’re thinking about.
Would you write slowly and carefully? Cautious that the pen would run dry the next moment. Or would you pretend that the pen had an infinite pool of ink, believing it would never dry out. Then, of what will you write about? Happiness? Hatred? Pain? Fear? Love? Misery? Everything? Nothing? Will you write to please or will you write to please yourself? Would you write to show the world how you feel? Or would you write to show yourself how you feel? There’s a lot of things to think about in writing, isn’t there? Clutching the pen you have the power to make some things happen or nothing happen at all. But you are holding in your hand a pen, once you’ve made a mistake, you can’t erase it. You can just continue to write and correct your mistakes by the next words you write. Now… WHAT IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU A LIFE?global concern.
