The girl with the paper face
It's always the same
Forgive and erase the pain.
Pull out a new sheet,
When the first one's soaked through.
Tears will make the smiles blurry.
Using the best pencils,
Quality is key.
Only when happy, are you worthy.
Lying makes you listless,
Overcome by carelessness.
Without thinking, draw your true face.
Awake your sleeping mind,
Toss the mistakes aside.
The picture never stays in its place.
The girl with a paper face,
And a cardboard heart.
Is the truth really too much to contend?
Angry and broken,
Tear out another page.
Will it ever come to an end?
