The Balloon

Orange paper, flat and crisp,

folded tight, edges bent.

A paper balloon on my desk,

remnants of a class once had.

Lost are the notes, the lectures, the knowledge,

but the balloon sits here still.

Enduring through everything,

brightening the mess piled before me.

Thought lost, I almost cried when I found it.

Now found, I dont know what to do,

it reminds me of a time when things werent what they are now.
