Off the Page
I am blank
You might overlook me
Suspended in black ink
Into a permanent mark
That trails my storybook's main character
Like invisible ink
I am scratched out
Thoughts meander from straight lines
To be rewritten into a dot
Carrying my body of work
Searching for meaning...for a new start
Diving deep into thought like a shark tank
Never to rhyme
My opinion pales in the face of what they think
Like a mime
Am I...is this my aim?
To rote my existence off the page
Until my pen’s dream...
