Paper People
Papercuts
Upon Papercuts
As we link hands
Blank Expressions
Pale Faces
That only we can understand
We've all been creased,
And cute and folded
We've been Outcast
But they don't care
Cos they don't stand here
In this broken Paperchain
They don't know it
What we learnt
At such a young age
And when we learnt
About hurt
It was the hard way
They havn't been mistreated
Snarled at, beaten
Like they were objects
They weren't hated
Because of the clothes they fit in
Or what they didn't have
They don't see it
Cos they can't feel
How hard it is to still stand
But here in Line
Are the ones who died inside
Cos they took all that they had
So if your a paper person
Who knows what hurt is
Please with us now, come stand
"They" are everyone who've ever hurt you
Insulted you
Hated You
For Just being you
I, your neighbour in the chain
Loves you
Cos' affectively I am you
And you are me
PEACE
