Dark Spot

The pen creates a dark spot

Ink collecting on the paper,

As it becomes a big black dot

I want this to go, this clot,

I can’t even use my eraser

The pen creates a dark spot

It looks the same, even after I blot

All of it has gone to waste, all my labor,

As it becomes a big black dot

I start to regret my decisions, a great lot

I don’t have a response that’s proper

The pen creates a dark spot

Just trying to remove it ties me into a knot

It stained and created wastepaper

As it becomes a big black dot

Help cannot be sought

Making me the opposite of chipper

The pen creates a dark spot

As it becomes a big black dot
