the book of you

you find the book
of you
on the table.
it's been left there
accidentally.
it's a permanent
record of your
life. your memories.
it's all there.
your mistakes,
your careless words.
all of it in ink.
there are pictures
too of things you
didn't want to see again.
your thoughts
unfiltered are all
listed
from lust to greed
to anger.
the jealousy and gossip.
the book is full
of you. there is some
good too, but not
enough. you flip
to the end of the book
to see how many pages
are left to be filled.
there are some.
and that's enough you
think to turn this
story around.
