It's Your Story

A new day, a new page, a fresh start Some chicken scratch and a few words from the heart With this pen you attempt to unscramble your brain Grasp each thought before it slips away Hold tight till your knuckles turn white Close your eyes but don’t lose sight Twenty- six letters all arranged just right Don’t criticize, just let your hand flow free Show me what others cannot see Don’t stop, don’t think Let the ink speak the things you can’t express Relieve the stress, release the cement shoes on your feet Do your best to shove the elephant off your chest Breathe easy Live now, no rewind, put the past out of your mind It’s your time in the lime light They’re your chapters to write Rewrite, analyze, revise till you’re satisfied You’re the author What will your story be like?
