Paper Doesn't Judge


I came across this poem and couldn't believe that it was actually written by a 13 year old...the talent out there is amazing...

Paper Doesn’t Judge

Insert something meaningful here;
Something that will cause your eyes to brim with tears
Something that will tug at the corners of your mouth, until - at last
- You smile.

Conjure up in your empty mind, thousands of words;
Short words, long words, complicated words, mashed-rhyming- slang
words
Try to find words that make you want to jump for joy.

Grab those sentences that describe;
His shining teeth perfectly
Those that capture the essence of her round eyes like a photograph.

In this paragraph you will place;
Something original, something ground breaking
Write here, for yourself, something wrenching.

Show me the words that will end world poverty;
Teach me how to write romance
Scorch the blank empty page with tales of knights and seven seas.

Now, finish this - if you would be so kind - with a happily ever
after;
With a tragedy, with woe, with tears and with laughter
And when this story is done, it will be beautiful.

The world is yours to take and paper does judge.
