Your Story

What if one day
you're made to read
the story of a climb?
What if it is your story
revealed through every line?
Would you be filled with pride
of how far you had come
or would you want to go more
and see would that be fun?
Would you regret
of the mistakes that you did?
Would the things you took for granted
fill your heart with guilt?
Would your view about life
and yourself be discrete?
Would you wonder about
the paths you didn't take
and the places they could lead?
Would you realize then
that the small things of every day
have a bigger role in shaping you
than you ever thought you'd say?
At the times when hit the rock bottom
and all you wanted to do was cry,
would you tell yourself that
you should stand up and give
it another try?
Would you rue about the times
you've ignored your scars
because you loved the person
holding the knife?
What if one day you're asked
if who you are is the person
you really wanted to become?
Does this question make you
feel scared and your heart numb?
Promise yourself to make your life
a story that you will be pleased to read
This your life and now is the time,
It's you who holds the pen
and I hope you fill your pages perfectly right.
