Paper

On paper I am perfect,
On paper I am fine
On paper I see everything,
All that is mine
But paper gets worn down,
Paper tears with time
The ink will slowly fade away,
The words will slowly die
Paper tells a story,
which can often be a lie
It's dogged ears can hide the truth,
It's cuts can make you cry
But paper wont match reality,
However hard I try

The ink will slowly fade away,
Maybe it's my time.

Dawn

He rises at dawn.
And braces, braces, braces for impact,
Pining for a release that will never come.

Not I

Look at them dance,
                                              Look at them fly
                                              Look how they glisten,
                                              Under starry sky's
                                              See how they're free,
                                              All they can be
                                              Watch as their spirits run dry
                                              Should I be happy, or should I be sad?,
                                              Should I enjoy what I don't have?
                                              Yet as the night finally dies,
                                              And we say our goodbyes,
                                              I wish I was them,
                                              Not I.
