Paper Girl MAG
January 21, 2016
Potentially dangerous was she
So thin and sharp of curves
You are cut as you run
Along her breath
Paper is she
So lifeless and fake
Thin and useless
Like that shed of a snake
Paper towns are here to stay
For the fake children that do not play
In the actual reality
There are paper smiles
She cannot cross the river
For fear she may drown
Never learning to swim
Because her arms will become paralyzed
Days and days go by on end
And wrinkled is she, the one of pulp
She disappears at once
And the shreds began to flame
