Paper Thin Life

 

These see through walls

Are leaving paper cuts

Upon my heart.

When you build a house of cards

A whisper becomes a shout.

This ringing in my ears

Drowns out the sound

Of my beating heart.

Now how can I tell…

What makes it speed up?

What makes it slow down?

My mind feel like

A wet paper bag.

I am afraid if I light a match

To dry it out

That I will be burned

By my own fears.

Now I need to make

A colorful collage

From construction paper

Before I accidentally ingest

All the paste from my childhood.

My one last wish

Is to trade this cardboard sign

For a neon one,

Then I can be a shining star

As seen from heaven.

This was so touching....it touches on our foundation that built the present and a hope to destroy the realities only by a fantasy that heaven may be majestic - thank you for this thought provoking piece.
