A Clean Piece

My life is like a sheet of paper
Stepped on
Without a care in the world
Their marks left there…
Forever.
My life is like a sheet of paper
Torn to shreds
When you get a block
In your mind’s path
Ripped into diminutive pieces
My life is like a sheet of paper
Blank and white
Until I fill it with my thoughts
The red ink
My trepidations and fears
My life is like a sheet of paper
Used for your warmth
Burned to a crisp
Into ashes, the glowing embers
Never to be seen
Again
