Life as a Book

(Image of Books from @jakysphotography on Instagram)

Everyone’s life is different from the other

Some may have it all and others not so much.

Lives are just a bunch of different books

Unfortunately people can judge by the cover.

They either like or hate me without reading.

Covers can be deceiving to the eye

Neat from the outside with colors and design

Meanwhile, if you read through it, it can bring someone

down with the torn up pages.

It can make someone proud of the characters and their choices.

It can make someone confused or angry with their choices,

Or have them satisfied or unsatisfied by the ending.

A book can be burnt from the outside but with pages of gold.

It can have a rich cover but the pages are as sharp as a knife.

Some are beginning to be written while others are ending.

It’s our choice how we want to write it because,

Everyone’s life is different from the other.
