ARTIST Poem: The Author, by Blaine Atlas

Each day represents a turning page, and a blank slate
We get to start over each day if we choose to, isn’t that beautiful?
We take what we’ve learned from previous chapters and implement them into our next one
Each day is a new start, we get to write our own story, even if sometimes we feel like it’s already been written for us
Some things are inevitable, plot twists will happen, the climax may not always be what is expected
We get to choose who we keep and who to let go of
Sometimes characters will be there for a few chapters then leave, doesn’t mean they weren’t an important part of the story
Some will stay through thick and thin, no matter the storm or twists and turns that arise
We get to choose to restart again and again if need be
Isn’t it beautiful how we are the authors of our own story?
