Poetic Verses

Paper Heart

I try to please everyone,
least of all me
I'm captain of nothing
yet sail my self-made sea

The water deep, it flows from tears
of self pity and of strife
The little vessel that carries me
is simply labeled life

I sail to islands called dreams
on my charted way
Dreams are not reality
and am told I cannot stay

I try to leave some happiness
but leave my paper heart
a very fragile part of me
floats away torn apart
