Dear Pen
you may seem small-
petite, delicate, almost fragile-
yet somehow,
you stand tall,
almighty with dignity
in the hands of those
who dare to write.
You carry no sword,
yet you can move nations.
You carry no crown,
yet your words can command attention.
You make no thunderous noise,
yet your ink can echo
across generations.
There is a certain power
in the way you move-
a magnetism in every stroke,
every sentence,
every thought you bring to life.
You capture the eyes
of the mass media,
the hearts of readers,
the curiosity of strangers,
and sometimes,
with a single sentence,
you make the unseen-
seen.
You give a voice
to those who were silenced,
to those who remained unheard,
to those misunderstood
and overlooked by the world.
Through you,
a forgotten story
can travel across borders.
A quiet truth
can become a conversation.
A hidden voice
can become a movement.
A single idea
can go viral
within a heartbeat.
Oh, dear Pen,
what freedom you give
to every hand that holds you.
You do not tell us
what to think.
You give us the freedom
to reveal who we are.
Our ideas.
Our imagination.
Our style.
Our intentions.
Our power.
Our purpose.
Our charisma.
Our truth.
In your ink,
we leave pieces of ourselves-
our dreams,
our questions,
our wounds,
our wisdom,
our rebellion,
our hope.
You remind the world
that power does not always
arrive with a loud voice.
It does not need
to boast,
bully,
intimidate,
or demand attention.
Sometimes,
the greatest power
sits quietly at a desk,
rests between someone's fingers,
and begins with-
one word.
One thought.
One sentence.
One story.
And suddenly,
the world listens.
So, dear Pen,
keep writing.
Write for the voiceless.
Write for the forgotten.
Write for the dreamers.
Write for the truth-seekers.
Write for those
who have something to say
but have never been given
the space to say it.
Because your greatest magic
is not merely putting words
on paper.
Your greatest magic
is reminding humanity
that words have power.
And sometimes,
the smallest instrument
can carry
the mightiest voice.
Dear Pen-
stay small,
stand tall,
and let your words
change the world.
Your Loyal Companion,
Stella Tenzin
