The Glory of Her Story

A journal in her hand with no one to understand, a reason to give up yet a reason to live- A story to tell while living in her mind’s hell, she picks up her quill and finds a way to give. Days they pass and memories do last, but no one can see her top priority- Pages upon pages with ages of anecdotes, her parchment saves her as she tells her story. Every day ~ a new way… Every time ~ a new rhyme… Every belief ~ a relief... As she begins a new chapter and turns a new leaf. Cradling her gifts, she writes about regret, standing on the cliff, her saga she won’t forget- Living on muse she lives to tell a tale, swimming by the shore she sets off to sail. Every cloud ~ a shroud… Every romance ~ given a chance… Every history ~ written with mystery… Every story is her daily glory. Every morning she awakes with a new plot- living to tell her version of what is fiction ...and what is not. Quote Response Contest December 12, 2016

Damn, those last lines "Every morning.....and what is not." just blew my mind. You made it look very creative and yet some phrases are really deep and thought provoking. Congrats! A 7
