Life is like a book
It has characters
Plots
It has a beginning, middle, end

Life is our book
We being the authors without knowing it
It can be sad, scary, dramatic or happy
Someday this book of ours will be published and everyone will read it

They will like or hate it
That is up to them
If they like it they'll turn the pages
They'll read until our story is done

They shall know what our generation was like
What it was like to go to school
What it was like to be a kid
What it was like to have a family
What it was like to be ourselves

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
