Paper Power

Paper,

I tell you all my secrets.

I whisper them in your ear.

I share with you my regrets

When there's no one else to hear.

I exclaim my joys and dreams

When you are by my side.

You endure my screams

And absorb my tears when I cry.

You give me strength to cope

With my emotional wounds

And give me the hope

That I'll make it through.

You allow me to create sparks

Of thoughts and emotions in others

And to leave behind my mark

Through what I uncover.

You  rescue me from boredom

And transport me to another place

Where I can march to my own drum

And lose track of time and space.

I know I can always depend

On you to not judge, to just listen.

I can rely on you to be my friend

And spread my messages and missions.

These past three years,

We’ve been through thick and thin,

And I have no fear

That we’ll do it many times again.
