Blank book
Not yet written.
We write the story,
Even if our fingers are frost-bitten.

We make the path,
The beginning, the middle, and the end.
It all depends on how we live.
The sands of time will never tend.

These pages that we seem to ignore,
Will decide our book.
We must learn not the ways of fools.
You never know what lies ahead, even if you take a look.

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
