As Paper
Paper
By: Jacob Green
I am like paper as life is like an amateur expressionist free handed painter
If I am like paper I may not write but I sure can read
If there is error fetch an eraser for corrections may not be made later
If life is short then it will be short so I need not speed
Let me be a letter that addresses
A message to me
Write on me use me to tell stories
Let me read of strange creatures and great lands
Incredible discoveries
Miraculous recoveries
Inventive ideas and heartfelt feeling
Pour humanity’s paint for I am the canvas that is revealing
A love a loss
All of man’s expense with the cost
Give me what has happened
And I can give you the arms to revolutionize
Now this may sound convoluted but what you haven’t yet realized
Im just a student
But if I don’t learn to break out the binding of my text and learn what transcends the definition
If I don’t expand my knowledge to earth and heaven
I can never even dream to look down at a sky scraper
If I believe the sky’s the limit then I’m just a blank piece of paper
