You come in endless supply
It's easy to fold you in someplace safe
So you won't rip or tear
I can express my thoughts and emotions all over you
Or I can decorate you with crayons, pictures, or stickers
Otherwise I could lamenate you
So that you would remain in good condition
If I wish for accuracy, you'd be useful for tracing
It just depends on your transparency
If I have no use for you, I could recycle you
And use one of your siblings or cousins
No, wait. Maybe... I could use you for oragami!
Oh well, after all, you come in different shapes and colors
I could also cut and tape pictures when I need a poster
It doesn't matter. You're everywhere in stores
I sometimes may have no use but to read the words
Structured in paragraphs on you
So many uses!
Only I cannot last forever, but you sure can
Made from the barks of trees
Such simple material indeed
Paper.
Inasweetdream
Not sure why it came to me,
but one thing for sure it did
As I sat here so frustrated, cause something wasn't right
I began to reflect upon the past
Soon it came together, it all come to light
I looked around me, all that I could see
So many things I never had before
So many things to make life convienent
And yet we still want more
Not so long ago, or so it seems,
There was nothing I could not do
And the only luxury I had for years
Was myself telling me, if it can be done, you can do it too
The simple things in life, the basic tools of need
Collecting dust and growing old
The person I used to be
Age has crept upon me, my body aches with pain
But my wits and will I know are still with me
Some things just never change
So today I shall fret no more
Because something is not right
I will reflect upon my past
Find my inner strength
And fight!!!!!!!!!!!
