Original poem (2015)

Blue pen
Let's walk
To loose my thought
And the others
Consign them
Confine them
Jailor pen
Can you
Control them?

---

Song arrangement, “Jailor Pen”, with an added lines (2025)

[Verse 1]
The chatter hums, a restless din,
Thoughts collide and pull me in,
But there you wait, my stern blue guard,
To lock them up, to stand unmarred.

[Chorus]
Jailor pen, quell the riot,
Pin that word (it'll be heard),
Jailor pen, be my friend,
Accentuate the quiet.

[Verse 2]
Blue pen
Let's walk
To loose my thought
And the others
Consign them
Confine them
Jailor pen
Can you
Control them?

[Bridge]
Each stroke a cell, each line a gate,
You trap the clutter, shift the weight,
A paradox in ink I see—
You cage my mind to set me free.

[Chorus]
Jailor pen, quell the riot,
Pin that word (it'll be heard),
Jailor pen, be my friend,
Accentuate the quiet.

[Verse 3]
The wild ones twist, they tug, they fray,
A storm of threads that won't obey,
But you, my ward, you bind them still,
Expel the mess, my soul to fill.

[Outro]
Blue pen, my shield, my strange release,
You jail the storm, you grant me peace,
Thoughts confined, yet I'm unbound,
In your chains, my wings are found.

(recording on Suno)
