tear me in half and let me pretend to be someone, anyone.
a piece of paper crumpled intricately.
let me be complicated.
not dull and boring like copy paper.
let me be origami.
little pieces of paper folded for fun.
so complex, that you'll give up and toss it into the trash.
because you're tired.
tired of trying to make an effort when it's all for naught.
because you can't do it.
just like how I can't do it.
be someone else that is.
because no matter what, I'm me.
even if i don't like it.
