Story of My Life

I long to go back

to before I grew up

And realized life isn’t a fairy tale

It’s an open book

Crinkled by the edges

And up to me to write

But it’s ripped and damaged

With a feeble binding

And writing my story is a troublesome task

And I’m almost never satisfied

With the way, my words go forward

But this is

The actuality of life

Because I’m no princess in a tower

I’m an anxious mess

Sitting with a pen in hand

Ignoring reality and overthinking everything

Waiting for my book to write itself
