Paper boat travelled through the streets of paper town..
Street lights were lit.. a breezy wind followed..
saw the newly wed couple dreamt of their future and night..
heard someone played the ever melodious violin..
as the notes get farther...slowly the paper boat sank deeper..
We all are going to put a full stop for our story , that we started writing ages back.. someday!
But don't just wait to put the full stop , rather enjoy the story while writing...
There are many beautiful things happening around you ..take time to enjoy those little things..
'cause someday we all r going to be that paperboat..
Our childhood's prime game;
Creating a paper plane.
Making it fly high,
But it never reached the sky.

We would continue to raise the bar,
But still we wouldn't get very far.
We would trust a redesign,
But never anything different from our own design.

We would work soley for ourselves;
To keep the success to ourselves.
We would spend all day redesigning a paper plane,
But never on redesigning our life's shame.

We live for a paper plane
And its thrill - day by day.
We would accept our life's flaws,
But never our paper plane's flaws.

We would live for irrelevant people and objects,
But never for our own salvation.
We would live with a self-opinionated attitude,
But why do we now live with our opinion based on that of the world?

We live like a paper plane;
Flying high, just to be redesigned.
The world never helps us stay sane
As we're always seen as a failed design.

Charles Bukowski once wrote:

“My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.”

It is not a feeling most can
Comprehend
Being a youth in skin
Yet having wrinkles
In your heart and mind
But I do
I understand
What it's like to
Find "plastic" conversations
A bore
I live in a paper town
Maybe we all live in a
Paper world

But if you're one
Of the other inhabitants
Of this old youth
Space

Welcome.

You're not alone.
Just thoughts.
