Paper Planes


My head hits the pillow

My eyes stick to the ceiling above

But my mind-

Flies to everywhere

In my paper planes.


In the middle of night

No sleep, however tight

Oh! These paper planes feel so right


They take me to places

I wanna be

Where the world

Can't see me


In middle of the night

No soul, no matter where

Oh! My paper planes

Take me to everywhere


And I fuel fantasies

To get away from reality-

      A thing so obscure yet so familiar

And my planes

Pick me up

From the land of Hypocrisy

that's drowning in the parenthetical sea

From a place so alien

They save me from the world

that's constantly trying

to have me prodigal


They take me to their land

and yes I know it's hypothetical

But it's the only place

Where I sing my own song

Speak my own words

and write my own story

With no one to judge


But then the bloody sun

rises up again

Crashing all my paper planes

Tears fall down my cheeks

As I see

them lying there

Each one of them tamed


Oh! I Should've known

They were just paper planes

My dear paper planes.
