If Life Is A Story

(Just realized a day later that THIS IS MY 50th POST! Awesome! Writing had come so easy, that I didn't even realize it! Post 75, here I come! =D)

Letter by letter, word for word
Second into minutes, day by day,
Who writes my life's story?
Who writes what we say?

Who plans the next scene,
and imagines the next fight?
Who cooks up the plot,
to be read in the light?

If life is a story,
who holds the mighty pen?
If life is a story,
who decides when it ends?

Would the ink stay dry,
or be washed away by the tears?
Would the hero save the day,
and take away our fears?

If life is a story,
will the villian start descending?
If life is a story,
Will mine have a happy ending?

I am a mere writer, I cannot write the future
I can't save a life nor the world if I could
But I can write down the past, and dream of tomorrow
And pen down the next chapter, treasured as it should
