Your Life as a Poem
March 24, 2011

If I could write a poem that would touch the world, I would.
If it could reach out beyond the paper and touch your face, then it should.
Something so surreal, that it's like a scene from a movie brought to life.
It embodies all your struggles and your strife.

Your life on paper, written as a poem.
Since you can see it, how does it look?
Does the poem talk about your home?
Does it tell your life story like an open book?

Do you like what you see?
What would reading your poem say about you to me?
If your poem reaches out to you, what would you do?
Would you be content and let it sit on a shelf, or be concerned and try to change yourself?

Since the poem's still unfinished, it's up to you to write the next line.
It belongs to no one else - your own unique design.

Do you wonder where it should start or how it will end?
Or have you already made up your mind?
I trust that you know who you really are, somewhere deep, down, inside.

This is my poem that I have shown.
Now it is your turn to write your own.
