Photocopy Heart

Folder: 
Life and Living

I thought I was infallible,

confident, content with

struggling to go where

I wanted to go.

The corporate ladder

was steep, but I had a

steady and experienced foot.

When I reached the top,

I found it was a long

journey to nowhere.



Yellow legal pages

consumed me.

unfinished thoughts

and words inundated me.

I wanted to cut the shackles

and keep the memories.

The only way I knew

was to photocopy my life.



When I finished,

all that was left was a

copy of my heart.

I held it close,

a reflective eye toward the

shredder.
