#WritcoPoemChallenge
My life is an open book,
That led me through every nook,
And every corner of discovery,
Of life's long journey

My life is an open book,
That led every stray through every nook,
Audacity sprung forth,
My life's story became "OUR LIFE'S STORY"

My life is an open book,
Each page is defiled
By strangers with "rights"
our life's story now becomes "THEIR LIFE'S STORY"

With few pages left,
I slowly but eventually realize
how quickly "Their life's story" goes by
I take a pen with the intention of leaving MY MARK in the pages left
But I am immediately reminded that
I do not possess such "rights"

In anger, I tear out all the pages
Every single one without my mark
I ripped them out with tears
My nightmares escaping from the pages where they were trapped.

I look at what's left
Three pages with my mark
With twenty pages left to spare
Yet I feel joy for the first time
The pen in my hand
With the voice I lost a long time ago
Leaving MY MARK in MY LIFE'S STORY

True peace is when your life is a closed book
True joy is when you hold the pen to YOUR LIFE'S STORY

My life is my story to write
Your life is your story to write
