A Book

I think I'll write a book One look back over my life is all it took Will it be a romance, comedy or a tragedy I know at time it's felt like all three. Or maybe it might sound like poetry Maybe this pain is only for me to see Writing this book may set my demons free Looking back at my life I can see An education better than any degree Most important lesson there is no guarantee After all the years that it's took To stand here today with a smile After all at times this life seemed like a trial Guilty or not A death sentence is what I got Now writing a book is something I can not So now look back at my life and learn from me It's only you that can set you free

Omg. This is my favorite so far. Gives me chills. A slight insight into what you have lived and felt. *applauding*

This is a wonderful poem, Tracey:) I enjoyed it immensely. If you write a book, I'll buy the first copy:) Your life, "romance, comedy, or tragedy" sounds like my life so I'm certain it would be a very entertaining book. Love the write!
