Paper Cup

Crumpled up
Paper cup,
Back and forth it sways
All day.

And you, bruised,
Misused,
Unwanted,
Distracted.

Lacking purpouse,
Devotion or cause.
Yearning for kindness, not just
Skin to touch.

This is really simple, yet speaks volumes. I reviewed another of your pieces earlier, and your style is very interesting and unique, because you don't take up a whole page to tell a story. I like the structure of it, definitely. Three small stanzas with very few words in each. Very different from most things you'd see here on this website. Good job.

I thought of innocence at the end of this piece..Loneliness and unwanted feelings, they're the sole reason as to why we are crumpled, paper cups. Kindness goes a long way. This was beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Our lives are but a wind swept sway of tumultuous fervor. We are so caught up in our own existence that we fail to see, or whish to be involved in the lives of others. We bring no joy to the party and thus, like the crumpled cup, we are tossed aside and forgotten. Excellent write, very poignant.

Interesting association, the paper cup and people feeling unwanted...just used and replaced, misused.

With the back and forth it sways, good description for those who are distracted.
