For once, I would like
To be a piece of paper
At the mercy
Of the wind,
To stay somewhere
Only for a few seconds,
For I am tired
Of being a tape-person,
Sticking to places
For way too long,
And not leaving
Until I am yellow,
And often not leaving
In spite of that.

Lovely poem, Aaysid. I can relate to this from the other perspective. I think I’m probably a ‘tape person’ as I tend to like to settle in one place, physically at least, and probably till I’m old and yellow. However, mentally and emotionally, I think I’m more like that piece of floating paper, longing for freedom and wider horizons. Thanks for sharing. Xx 💖
