Paper weights

[Bloodbunny]

When I was small and barely able to talk,

I'd speak only though gestures.

Now that I'm tall and unwilling to stall a single moment I try my best to not flicker.

Like a flame in the dark I'm strong and bright but even fire burns out despite the holder.

Though I do not want to move and these walls I hear though are paper thin.

What holds me down in the end were the paper weight that you stuck to me even though they are lighter then a feather.
