Life’s like a book
The trouble it took
The doubt and the sadness
See through other eyes your constant madness
But to you
It’s true
The song you wrote bears your image
As the book you write snares your personality
We take after god
Yet all is fraud
But life has its purpose
Your ears ring to the songs they sing
Yet dance to the song you follow
You’re not content to follow others
But preach your soul to another
Life’s a book
With a pretty cover
So don’t shudder to your own
But take heed of the other

The author's comments:
Everyone seems to have a plan for my life. The plan they want me to follow isn't my way. I can only be happy to discover my own path. Sometimes it may be filled with thorns, but some times I will discover a flower. It will be my flower.
