Paper

White snow

Fragile heart

Tattooed skin

Torn soul

Missing puzzle pieces

Screaming

Saying it's to pale

It's to thin

Laughing at its

Imperfections

Thrown

Left

Right

Crumpled

Into a ball

With every inch

Covered with a tattoo

See

Papers have feeling too

They cry

They want to run

They want to hide

They worry about their imperfection too

If all their curves

Are in the right place

If they are to thin

If they are pale

If they have to many tattoos

As we write

The algebra equation

Or the essay

Or even the poem

On it tattooing is skin

Covering it with ink

Not looking back to see if it's done

Right.

That's my paper
