If my life was a book

if my life were a book,
it would be a book of poems,
with the occasional broadway musical
and harmonics in high places.

a short, yet complex piece
wherein i am the heroine
despite my lack of courage.

and in this book
there are episodes of calm,
and longer stretches of tired.
but always, there is love.

this book ends happily,
(because the author is
the one who chooses
those things).

and the author is me.
and the book is my life
