The Story Of My Life

The filled pages of my diary lay open,

As tears dripped and smudged everything unspoken,

My own experiences, both vivid and dark,

Were soon erased, leaving not a single mark.

I wished my memories would fade away so,

For what I had seen was worthy to let go,

The world was cruel, wish I knew it before,

It crumbled me like paper, too weak to stand up anymore.

Never did I realise that I was a bear puppet in their hands,

Doing everything according to their wishes and commands,

How was I so foolish, how could I not have known?

That they were never really for me, I was always on my own.

But this was just the end of a chapter in the story,

My goal was for this tale to reach its ultimate glory,

I flipped the page and started afresh,

The past was in the past, the future was mine to possess.
