your life

the current edition
of your life is under
revision. you've selected
various chapters
to delete. there are
characters littered
throughout the manuscript
that also must go.
facts that seemed like
facts must be removed.
photos must be cropped
and airbrushed.
no need to tell everyone
everything.
it has to be thinned
and lightened.
the tragedies
diffused, the fun times
embellished. in time,
nobody will remember
what is true or what
is false, so let's just
print the good stuff
and let it be.

well, if you consider this "good stuff," then you better make a correction - "no one","nobody" maybe, but "no" is not a noun nor fulfills the subjective case.
