Turn the page... No, Change the Book...

I am an author to my own story,

The characters i choose to write in, i dont even fully know,

But as i write my story, i learn them better,

Some are evolving, some are at a dead stop but one thing i do know about my characters,

They all effect me.

I write some good chapters and some bad,

I write some happy and a few more sad,

But i write them and feel them in my bones..

With each page i fill, a new memory told.

Unfortunately, sometimes an author slips up and creates a terrible story,

One that no one want to know...

Including the writer.

Unfortunately I am a writer who a has written a bad book,

So i must redeem.

The book i have written is a sad sad tale one of hurt and love and lies, cheating and anger and

hoping and longing, a book that sits on a shelf and no one wants to pick up or even dust off...

So i must be the author to fix my own story,

It is far to late to change the pages written,

Because i wrote with my red inked pen,

Inpossible to remove.

With all that has been written i cannot hope to change that story,

But i can write a new one.

I will not just simply add a new chapter to the last and call it good.

I must start over, completely over.

Close the covers of my smeared red ink hand and salty tear ridden pages.

And make a new book with the chapter i know i need to write.

I am an author writing my own book,

My own new book,

With good characters i know and trust,

With everything i need and want to create a beautiful story,

I wont be ashamed or afraid to share.

I am the Author to my own story,

With my first line already figured out...

Life is an adventure. You start it knowing nothing, then over time you learn where to go.
