Introducing Rhetorical Artz- The Swordsman

It's the power of the pen

The only sword that I weild

Never yield to those who suggest I should be using a shield

Used to use the eraser as if it was a sheath

To conceal the things I would feel that were hidden beneath

The commercial appeal, aka the armor I had

That would slow down my emotions; happy, angry, or sad

Since then I've shed the armor and sheath, to increase my speed

For I realized the sword is the only real item I need

Most people use armor and sheaths so they don't get cut

The armor and sheath gives them room for tons of "if's" and "but's"

But see the only way to truly push your pain off the ledge

Is to openly show your blade

And be cut by it's double edge

Cause it's not fair to cut others if you don't know how that feels

You can't slice into someones soul

While the slice in your soul's concealed

So may the blade you wield bare witness to the truths in your sight

That way you can never say you weren't right in what you write
