Paper Stains
The words I write are best defined
As tiny pieces of soul
Trapped within my troubled mind
An ache I can't console
The memories and the heartaches
Dripping through my pen
Tell the stories of my mistakes
And regret I feel within
They will tell you who I am today
And what I used to be
They'll tell you all I have to say
If you'll look carefully
The words I write are lifetime earned
Through joy, strife and pain
Memories of the things I've learned
Are now my paper's stain
