Life Is Just a Book

My life is just a book.
A long story.
Not written by one person, but many.
But dedicated to one person.
My life is a book.
With many twists and turns
Sad and happy scenes.
I'm scared to turn the page because I know a person won't be in it.
I'm scared to see what the next chapter's name is.
I'm scared that if I turn the page the numbers may stop.
I'm scared that if I turn the page it might say the end.
Yet when I turn a page I cannot go back.
I cannot go back to a chapter and change it because it's already been read.
I can only leave a bookmark in my book for so long. 
I eventually have to pick the book up and keep reading.
I know my book will eventually come to an end, as all books do.
But for now, all I can do is keep reading.
