Contents of a heart written on paper
Folded by hands, creased and smoothed
Paper thin, beautiful exterior, hollow inside
Nothing to fill the space where emotion should be
Unfitting of societies perfect mold
Repeatedly unraveled and folded again
Thinning at their touch, tattered and torn
Isolated imperfection , forgotten and discarded
Retrieved by hands, broken and bruised
Unfolded and read for the first time
Your extended metaphor is
Your extended metaphor is will deployed and, therefore, very powerful!
