cause lead's just not permanent...
i don't like writing with pens
i love pens
they're so much more poetic
much more professional
much more sincere
i just don't like writing with them
and i've always wondered why
maybe it's cause i make too many mistakes
and i don't like seeing my mistakes
because as much as i try to cover them up
to cross out my misspellings
to white out the stray marks
my mistakes are always there
as blatant as ever
as permanent as ever
but it's funny how those stray marks
make the paper prettier than without them
how those misspellings
give it life and emotion
how the senseless doodles on the side
give it more meaning than any words could describe
yet i write with pencil
where none of my choices matter
cause nothing is set in stone
where beauty and feeling is sacrificed
for accuracy and repetition
where it's easy to lose everything
to the brush of an eraser
i thank God he didn't give me the option
to draw my life with a pencil

There's a certain beauty in imperfection.
There's that element of permanence, of the decisions we make, the pen strokes on the paper, that can never be taken back.
And it forces us to deal with who we are and what we have done – no going back, every choice matters.
I'm glad you see God meant it to be that way.
though i cannot be inspirational after titus has made his mark,
i too would like to agree that I love pens for all the reasons you so eloquently listed.
Whenever I want to write a letter, I write it on the computer first
And then write them in pen.
so I will give the reader
All the "poetic sincerity" he or she deserves.
Yep.
It's the easiest way to learn, and it's the biggest part of our personalities.
Such is life.
