A Piece of Paper
  Why am I blank? 
  Why was I left with no color when others have lines? 
  What purpose do I have when others are seen? 
  I am a blank piece of paper left all alone. 
  Stuffed in a folder lost and unknown. 
  When I think have been forgotten for good. 
  My folder opens, the light greets me like I hoped it would. 
  A tiny child takes me delicately in her hands. 
  Lay's me down but then just stands. 
  She picks up her crayons and begins to draw.
  No longer blank though I still stand alone. 
  Now I have color and somewhere to go. 
  A very proud mother looks down at me 
  And hangs me on the fridge for all to see. 
  I may be different and stand from the crowd.
  But I have my true colors and for that I am proud. 
  There is one thing I learned from my time all alone. 
  As long as I'm me there's no place I can't go.

I wanted to write from the point of view of a piece of paper and this is what came to mind. Some of it is from my own feelings and this is the result.
