Scrap paper (imitation) by Abhishek Raol

You find a small piece of paper
torn off the page of a book
like a sail ripped off and pit out by a shark

the shark that ate your homework
and spit out it's dinner on your paper
which then got washed away by the tides

of your anxiety and dis-focus
you have nothing left but an
empty piece of paper

and not much time to finish

Empty thoughts

empty thoughts stuck in my head
wishing waiting stuck in bed
cant get up, no not yet
pray a little harder
go a little farther
like a storm in my presence
taking away the essence
bringing back the day
i looked your way
in the light so bright
especially in the night
your light shined so bright
in my empty thoughts
you run wild
every path in my mind you control
i hear your voice
in the distance
or are those just my empty thoughts
