Looking For An Abundance of Paper Stars
Location
She was a hurricane
a tempest so true
so strong and indestructible
blowing through existence
and soaking everyone
in her way
day by day
more fell wounded
from her rage
but ignorant
to the truth
too big for the small town box she’s locked inside
she wants to matter
she dreamed of gettin’ out
for herself
yet she worries
what
if…
she was fighting a war within herself
endless heart wrenching vindictive battles
she lost
every
one
she’s drowning
she doesn’t care
she’s had enough
of the paper towns
the paper people
the paper lies
sooner or later
the paper will
tear
and
so
will
she

I wasn't expecting what I got at all! I clicked on your poem because I thought I saw Looking for Alaska, and then I read the real title- not the one I thought I saw- and it seemed like a whole bunch of John Green titles mashed together. I'm actually really happy with the poem that was brought up!
These are references here that I was able to catch but also a twist of the characters- because they are not his, they are yours, and I enjoyed that greatly! My favorite lines would have to be ""she's had enough/of paper towns/the paper people/the paper lies/sooner or later/ the paper will/tear." It so strong and resounding.
Thank you for sharing this,
Rebecca
