Life is a trilogy with birth and death sandwiching Our life stories into books and chapters are written Every second with every action and inaction That we take takes each chapter on a wild ride Through defeat and triumph and love and hate
Chapters like first kiss and first love and first car And all of our firsts are only minor chapters when Compared to chapters like self realization And self acceptance and self recognition And other chapters about our internal struggles
Internal struggles like depression or anxiety Or coping with the death of a close friend or Family member create cliffhangers and drama In our books and they make our stories different From all of the other stories that we read
When we make new friends or unite with old ones And these struggles can tear pages out of our books That we don’t want people to read because they are Too hurtful or too personal or they cut us too deep That we don’t want other people to find out
The truth of what happened or what we have done And these torn pages will be a reminder of our past And it reminds everyone that life isn’t perfect And that we are all flawed with some more than others But we are all the same because we have gone through hardship
Our books have twists and turns that make us smile And they make us cry but no matter what they make Us think about our own lives and how we can write The next chapter or rewrite the past or change a few words But no matter what we change our books will never be complete
Life is a book and we all need to read each other’s book By looking into our eyes or how we are dressed or how we act Or through our conversations because our books are constantly Changing with every second and with everything that we do or don’t do With every feeling or thoughts we have or how we choose to live
Look into my eyes and you can see that my book Is no different from yours and my chapters are the same There is a chapter for depression and for anger and for shame There is a chapter for all of the happiness in my life thus far And a chapter for all of the things that I want to accomplish
No matter how our books start the ending will be The most powerful because that will define our past How we die and how our books are written will determine If they will be bestsellers or on the self collecting dust But no matter what life’s a book and we should all read each other’s
