a blank page

you’ll be told
that life goes on
to turn the page
that the old
needs to be torn
you’ll be told
to leave that cage
to break it .. or else
you’ll forever mourn
to try a new way
cause the old has been
proven wrong
to start a new chapter
to be ready
to be resilient
to be strong
what if the cage
comes along
what if the chapter
looks the same
feels the same
what if the ending
is the same!
you take a look
at the old pages
and you realize
the cage has always
been yours
is your own creation
tied to your feet
tangled in your mind
pulls your soul down
imagine if tonight
you cease to exist
& tomorrow you’re born again
would you break free?!
would you clearly see!
would you for once
be who you wanna be?!
if you’ve got a blank page
would you fallback
to the old one
.. or
would you write
.. new words
.. a new story
.. an interesting plot?!
would you cry over
what you’ve lost
or make the best
of what you’ve got!
