The story you’ll never regret

What do you do when your characters are engrained in your soul?

When you’ve written the book and lost all control?

When the scenes and the story are burned in your mind?

When all you want to do is write it again and hit rewind? 

 

What do you do when you read that book? 

When it calls to your heart with all that it took?

When the pages flutter and flip with how fast they’re turning?

When you read it in one sitting and you feel like you’re burning? 

 

What do you do when these stories change your very being? 

When you’ve lost the real world and aren’t sure what you’re seeing? 

When you’re different and changed but somehow still the same? 

When those soul-changing stories remind you from where you came? 

 

The answer is in the pages. 

In the way that your heart rages. 

In the way you can’t forget. 

For the story you’ll never regret.
