Sometimes I feel like my life is this book.
And I feel like i’m just this reader scrolling through the pages.
Reading the story line as it unfolds.
Crying with the sad and heartbreaking parts.
Smiling when the happy parts come along.
Laughing when the funny parts happen.
Sometimes I want to step into the book and stop certain things from happening.
Sometimes I want to step into the book and make certain things happen.
But as just a reader, it’s all out of my control.
As a result all I can do is keep reading.
And hope the best for the main character.
And pray things end well for the main character.
All I can do is remain the reader.
Taking each and every word, every page and every chapter as it comes.
Just fighting to reach the end with the main character, no matter what happens.
