along the dotted line,
they said, don't go along the bold.
oh, but this paper is mine,
i said, and did not do as told.

now here i go, and oh so deep,
i shall make my mark.
this paper's ink began to seep,
not light and bright, but dark.

stinging, burning, catching fire,
my tears called out by pain.
so i wait for eyes to tire,
silent sorrow in endless rain.
