Life Is a Book Full of Chapters

Early chapters are written without choice.
Scripted by parents from birth.
Chapters may read prosperous or despair. 
Innocence encounters ignorance life not fair,
One may learn to script their own chapters.

Open your book what might one see.
A roller coaster life full of diversity.
Open your book what will it read.
Narrative of facts or fictions your reality.

Life is a book full of chapters.
Some filled with bright chapters.
Full of strive, chapter after chapter.
The more strive, the sweeter the life.

Some lives are missing chapters.
Due to misguided writer’s block
Some lives have hidden chapters.
Unfavorable under society locks.

Life a book full of chapters.
Some are filled with dark chapters.
Full of strife, chapter after chapter.
The more the strife, the bitter the life.

Open your book what will one see.
The colors of life, harmony or misery.
Open your book what will it read,
stories describing your identity.

Each life reads like a book,
cause, life a book full of chapters.
Defines ones destiny,                                                                                                                                                                     before, now and ever after!

Poetic melodic rhyme with a deep and fun type of writing , writter shows enthusiastic and demonstrates his views on the topic vaguely while being so vivid with his writing .....just a classic master piece

From birth to death, long or short, everybody has a story to be told of the different stages throughout their development and experiences in life.
