A Simple Girl

I’m just a girl,
plain and simple
cut from paper
with faded hues.
Diamonds do not
sparkle around my neck.
My fingers are not
painted candy red.
My old dress
wears many stains,
and my lips do not
taste champagne.
For I am a
simple girl,
cut from paper
with faded hues.
My dreams are
folded in my pocket.
My inspirations are
written on my heart.
My fragile love is
hung on a thread,
and my naked mind is
complicated by
this intricate world.
For I am just a girl,
plain and simple
cut from paper
with faded hues.
