Papier

Blank page
An empty infinity
Nothing is written here
Not a line nor a dot
Nothing.
An eternity of possibilities.
Pure beauty
A whiteness so lovely
It could almost be invinsible...
Yet one touch of the pen
One stroke of your wrist,
And the paper
Along with all its potential
Comes crashing down.
Once you make that mark
It can never be erased.
Sure, go ahead and cover it up
Spread a little Tipp-Ex
It'll never be the same, though.
Only a bumpy, scaly streak
Will come between you and your mistake.
This can never be completely gone
Don't try to run away
From this paper
And the scar you've left.
