Life Story


If I stand on the rooftops,

I look down at my story.

Anger.

Remorse.

Betrayal.

Joy.

Sorrow.

My journeys,

my adventures.

All that I have been through

is there.

I close my eyes and I try,

I try to remember.

Every detail sinks in,

every detail of my life.

Every second of pain,

every second of pleasure.

I open my eyes,

and my life is before me.

My entire life,

Is in my hands.

Ohhhhh, I LOVE the opening line. It sounds like the beginning of a movie trailer (that's a good thing, in this case). Did you take a look at this in paragraph form? For me, it almost looks better that way. This piece definitely has the potential to flow into some longer story. Keep it up! :D

gina is right. it is amazing both ways but could also be an easier opening to a beggining of an essay that u'll have to do or a story u'll hav 2 right.

Thanks guys!!! Gina, about the first line: this was also for school, as you can tell from the description. Have you ever heard of Ellis Paul, that singer? My English class did a whole unit on poetry and his lyrics. So, I chose "Take All The Sky You Need" as my song. I chose that line to start it off. But it does lead into the poem. Look at the description again. It thanks Ellis Paul.
