Is slow and silent You finish the chapter and close the book Then someone opens another And another And another And every time the book closes at The end No not Every time Sometimes someone shuts the book between pages Sometimes you close it just as it starts Other times you read the title and throw it out But that doesn’t really matter Because every book has a beginning an end and all the gory bits in between Highs Lows And everything else They tell you to write your own story but in actuality they’ve already written it for you So any mistakes are on you Open the book Read the pages Close the book THE END.

The end
Is slow and silent You finish the chapter and close the book Then someone opens another And another And another And every time the book closes at The end No not Every time Sometimes someone shuts the book between pages Sometimes you close it just as it starts Other times you read the title and throw it out But that doesn’t really matter Because every book has a beginning an end and all the gory bits in between Highs Lows And everything else They tell you to write your own story but in actuality they’ve already written it for you So any mistakes are on you Open the book Read the pages Close the book THE END.
