Blank Piece of Paper

February 19, 2010
By Anonymous

I can't stand to do anything
You tell me
To do
So I'm going to do the opposite
Even if it's not what i want
I won't listen to you
What does that mean to you
What does it mean to me
Can you read me
Between the lines

If I were a blank sheet of paper
What color would you make me
What would you make of me
Why don't you start with my opinion
Of how i perceive me to be
Maybe you can talk it out with me
Maybe I can help you.

This poem may be confusing because it has no punctuation; I apologize. I didn't add much punctuation because I didn't want pauses to be too important when reading this piece.
