Paper life
Reflecting on the pages written
Lost in a sea of words To erase my loneliness I chase the feeling of worth Hidden in the sanctuary of words I skip from one page to another Nowhere to hide on the surface Falling between the lines Like a forgotten character Living an illusory life The illusion no more a delight But a heavy burden As life keeps dragging down The dreams turning to ashes Watching the written pages As I sit at my desk The cup of tea cold and untouched The full moon observing benevolently I wonder where time flew As I kept hiding behind the words Living between the pages Living other people’s lives Only to come up empty-handed Once the book is finished What is left now, I ask myself Afraid of the answer, I open a new page And scribble down my innermost desires Let me live one more day, one more page Before I decide to close the chapter For as long as the end Is not the one that was supposed to be The story should keep going
