Dear #2 pencil I want to thank you for always being there for me I know you break easy under pressure but for the most part you're stronger than I'll ever be See I'm hiding behind the curtain while you take center stage You give me the swagger that's unleashed upon this page Eraser never there but only because you give what little you have to make me sound better Pens so selfish and Don't you dare listen to those other colors cause you're the real gogetter Black or white I never quite understood it, when asked a question I just ignored it I'm thinking I'd like to stick with the shade of gray I'm familiar with Everyone seems to take advantage of what you're capable of , I promise to respect you I know our time will only grow shorter so I wont break you down but build you up forget the life you're used to This is my point of view and I think you're great, like us all overworked and under paid You end up fading away but I cant complain, even one day I will decay
