Hidden within the mob that is humanity

I am paper crumpled and folded by the rest of the passersby
The wind picks me up off my feet and drags me against my will I claw at the clouds begging for it to stop when finally the wind calms and I fall
spinning
turning
crashing
the clouds and sky turn black
rain
a droplet hits me and I become frail once again

The storm stops

I am pockmarked with holes
Delicate as lace
if only I was half as beautiful

I try to pick myself up

Paper

Broken
Battered
Bruised

I have fallen but don't know where

Alone

Once I was beautiful colorful and full of enjoyment

But the wind
and the storm
Have worked their magic
And I am tattered
broken
Full of holes

Just a paper girl

Somehow alive

Life without meaning is useless
But what is the meaning of a paper girl
what does it mean to be alive
Am I really?

Scarred
tattered
broken
paper

I am all these things

I am just a paper girl living in the faceless mob we call humanity
