A Voice on Paper


A crumpled piece of paper.

The stature of things unsaid,

Words unheard of.

Time thrown away,

Heart gone to waste.

Talents unseen,

Greatness unevident.

Mind-filled works,

Torn.

Art transformed into nothingness.

A crumpled piece of paper,

Disguised to be trash,

In reality - anything but.

Really a life unspoken.
