Pencils
February 20, 2018
Humanity is like pencils,
We write out our future,
And then change it over and over again,
Trying to erase the past,
But we always leave behind a little residue,
We need to be sharpened for our best performances,
We want to be popular of otherwise we would be useless,
But then we get tired of always being used,
Humans are pencils,
Even if we cannot erase,
Our past, mistakes, and problems,
We can try and change everyone’s
Future.
