Empty Pages

what happens to a mans heart and soul when he spills it on a page?
     when all he has is his talent to write
and all people do is judge him for what he writes 
      so now he waits, waits for the perfect time to show the world
That all words written have there meanings and all of them describes a feeling
       a feeling that lies within the empty pages of a book 
These things you may not notice is that all books are from the passion and information of
others
        not just hollow words from a empty shell
So back to our writer which is now being destroyed, degraded, and hated for his works of art
         this is where the empty pages come in for know his wittings disappears forgotten
in time 
lost, abandoned like hope for a perfect world
