used ink

USED INK

Addicted  I  inject this ink
Though my pen
Please  let me feel
That existentialism
In my life so this sadness can end

Used is this ink
That I choose
It is recycled
In every poem
That I write
Red in blood
The joy in blue

Sometimes in black
A darkness  of hoping
Inadvertently
Some poems are made
Into that

Yes this ink is used
Like my feeling
Leaning to love
Leaning to trusts 
I try to understand
All these rules

Do you see
Like that ink
We all are used

I loved the idea behind the poem and it is delivered quite well.. a couple of spots where one might stumble... in my life so this sadness can end... I felt the "in my life" could be omitted, leaving a tighter structure and of course it would be self explanatory whose life you were talking about... just a suggestion... trusts... in this case... trust would be the proper form of the word... I enjoyed the read and agree... we are all used, some more agreeably than others, but all fall into the used category... and I am addicted to my pen as well as most others here... a good write!
