In the Pen Volume 1: #21: Treasure

In the Pen Volume 1: #21: Treasure

Life is not cheap
It is the first
And the last
Precious treasure

Of course there will be times
When we lose sight
Of the glimmer and shine
Sometimes lost beneath a crushing lid

Sometimes someone else
Must find you
Your map and key
And sometimes, no one is on their way

Sometimes, you'll have to lift the lid
Of your own shrinking coffin
And face the new day on your own
And sometimes, lifting the lid wont seem worth it

Telling you that you are a treasure
Is not enough
Listening to your silencing voice
Is not enough

So I ask you
Please keep a small piece of treasure
Forever nearby
Shape it into your map and key
