Parchment Recall
My first paper that I found
Simply written from that day:
“There’s a secret garden
At which I can play”
Another great parchment
That is written on states:
“I feel my life as a frown
Casting away doubts
Of whether there is any good
Knowing my existence
Is like I’m hated as a clown”
My last real paper
That shines in the dark:
“Darkness radiates from without
The heart cannot survive
From the emptiness that it holds
Caring for nothing
Only the pain can enter
As the soul claims
No other piece but darkness”
The pieces of my life
Written down sporadically
Encompasses more of my life
Than I would ever have guessed
Most of the life seen through three
Small pieces of enhanced parchment paper
