How We Live On


Can one really tell our lives?

Are they possible to describe?

 

To list blatant truths

Find the subtle lies

 

Remember, record, and all in between

Should we do it ourselves?

Or leave to others legacies?

 

Yet either way a bias comes

Outside or inside, no man can stop it.

Even an outsider finds an opinion.

 

So can we? Can we tell our stories?

 

Yes

 

But only as Stories
