Reality

Reality

Born a book with empty pages 

Nurtured into loveless chapters 

Raised into a book of terror 

Escaped the book before the ending 

Regardless what I do, I just can’t erase the summary of that story from before I became an adult 

It’s a part of me that I can’t live without but rather have to accept in order to write on 

So this new book will be filled with all my chosen words except for the intro 

Because that’s who I was before
becoming the author of my life moving forward 

TRANSFORMATION

Love the use of a book as an analogy for your life and choices. Currently I keep attempting new chapters, then ripping out the pages to start again, and that just reveals the old nasty chapter. Am terrible

I had similar feelings Gwen , So I realized I had to summarize all the bad past chapters into a summary I could like , then when working on rewriting the future chapters I’m not scared of the past ones . I think my old poetry profile had to much bad blood and that’s ultimately why I gave it up , We will never forget our past but we can accept it through acknowledging it in a way we can realize it wasn’t all our fault for some maybe none of it is . If you can do this then ripping out the new chapters won’t leave you with exposing past ones you don’t like :) , You’re not terrible , the fact you keep rewriting future ones shows your desire to want to be perfect or grow in a way you are proud of so that’s a good sign but keep in mind no one is ever perfect so sometimes we can be guilty of being to hard on ourselves . It’s tough to write new chapters until we have came to peace with the summary of old ones :/

Stories evolve and ALL of us have our own glorious, bloody, sweet or brutal stories. Whatever our story is it does have the ability to change...if we let it. Love this poem x
