Keep A Journal

A journal,

A diary, 

Whatever you want to call it. 

Keep one, cause in the end

You'll want to look through it.

Trust me.

You're going to want to see how your story unfolded

As your memory had told it

In the current time.  

There will be things that you forgot,

Things that you wished you had forgot,

And things you will remember forever. 

But the one true reason you're going to want to keep a journal

Is for the reason I said earlier. 

Your story. 

Now here's mine. 

Have you ever fallen? 

In one way or another? 

It always hurts, in one way, or another. 

It could hurt in a present time,

Or hurt at a later date,

But you're going to hurt. 

The level of hurt differs too. 

From a scale of 1-10, that is never enough,

Try a scale of 1-10000. That's better.

Have you ever fallen?

If you have, then you know what I mean.
