Paperclips
are
like
people.
Each one is
different.
Some shorter then
others,
and some taller.
Some are fat,
some are skinny,
some are smart,
and some are
rather dull.
They're
different
colours,
all different designs.
Paperclips are
flexible.
They are
puppets,
bending to the
will
of bender,
twisting and
turning,
until they are
sick
inside;
just like people.
They can be
stubborn,
and decide not to bend,
until the bender
decides to
throw it out
and
forget
about it.
Some paperclips are
sharp.
They can cut you
and make you
bleed.
Hurt you,
and make you
cry.
Paperclips, also,
can hold things
together.
They can hold your papers
together,
but be careful,
it may break.
A person,
they can hold your
heart
together,
but if they
crack,
your heart is forever
smashed, gone.
Paperclips,
are
like
people.
