Thoughts Within

July 12, 2016

Perhaps I will never open this book again

But if I ever do

I'll be honest

I'll be truthful

As I flip through the pages again

I'll regret the choices I made

I'll regret the words I erased

As I trace through the chapters again

I'll realize the unrealistic threats

I'll realize the unreasonable fears

Who cares what the world thinks

Who cares what the world says

Perhaps I will never open this book again

But if I ever do

I'll publish this book of mine.
