I Have a New Pen

It’s black, smooth to hold, and writes with quiet confidence.

There’s something special about a new pen—the unmarked barrel, the crisp click (or gentle twist), the first stroke on paper that feels like a promise.

This one doesn’t boast. It simply waits, ready to help turn thoughts into words.

Maybe today I’ll write a letter. Or a list. Or nothing at all. But knowing it’s here makes the blank page less daunting.
