A Glimpse


What story will be written?

And will I live to tell

The tale?

 

Will the characters I've crafted

Develop and age in wisdom?

 

How long will each chapter be,

And will there be enough dialogue?

 

Will the characters be able

To know how they feel? 

 

Will the characters be able

To know how they feel?

 

Will they feel free to 

Express themselves genuinely?

 

Will I ever get to know how ans why

They feel the way they feel?

 

Or will I only know

The things they do and say? 

 

Will true love come to life,

And will I ever be able to obtain it? 

 

Will it last forever, 

Or will it end in tragedy? 

 

Will the soldiers die in battle,

And will only their faces be remembered? 

 

Or will they survive, 

As they laugh and teach them all

How to live how we wanted them to live?

 

And how shall the story live,

And how much pages do I have,

Before it comes to a close?

 

What will the title be?

 

What will be the description on the back? 

 

How pure will the characters be?

 

Or will they turn out to be pure evil?

 

Will there be villians, 

And who will they be?

 

Do I have to defeat them, 

And why? 

 

Will I rescue someone from

The trecherous towers?

 

Will I be the one

In need of rescuing?

 

Will I fly the dragons, 

Or will I breathe the fire? 

 

Will I tame the dragon?

 

Will I be the villian? 

 

Am I the villian? 

 

Will I be investigating

A murder mystery?

 

Or will I be the

Murder mystery?

 

Will I be the wise one

And prepare the young warrior

For his trecherous journeys? 

 

Or will I be the young warrior

Who's preparing for

The journey ahead?

 

The happily ever after, 

As I find the pieces to

The puzzle

 

Will I be allowed

To cross the bridge

And collect the magical items?

 

Or will they always be there for me

To use, to carry on?

 

This, I ask, as I write the first chapter.
