CHAPTERS TO A STORY


You woke up thinking it was about you

you  gave yourself things to do

things to do turned to things falls apart

You woke up with a finish line in mind

only to find out it leads to a dead end

You started to ask questions

Answers offered two options

life or dead end

You chose life for you had already seen dead end

Life was singing songs

writing down poems

Life was opening up chapters to a story

Now you wake up

to live the story

sing the songs

recite the poems

Finally realizing  it's  not about you

someone gave you a beautiful story
