I'd rather be
Let them be as a book
always educational,conversational, and motivational
but not entertaining
I’d rather be a lonely, blank page,
halfway torn out the book, like a bag
that is holding too much weight
To have burst through the hard cover,
to learn, to get experienced, to the way
of the never ending story.
To be the page that is hanging out the book,
not knowing when it’s gonna fall,
if it does, will it drift through air
or will it just fall and stay there.
I’d rather be crumbled, and if
decided to be thrown away,
than to be a big book
that is cliche and uninteresting
and read over and over
by a bland voice
I’d rather smell of dirty,moldy,wet clothes
than of nice cherry blossoms
If I could be independent and lead my own way
I’d rather be a lonely blank page
