Turning Pages

Flipping back and forth
Between these pages of my life.
I discover things long forgotten.
Learning about who I was.
Pages that are torn and smudged.
Damaged and irreplaceable.
Pictures with unfamiliar faces.
Smiles with the promise of a better tomorrow.
A fragile book of the story that told my life, shoved to the back of the shelf, but soon finding its way to the front.
I'm learning how to let go of the past and to start a new chapter in my life.
In the end, the girl learned that her life isn't over.
That life still goes on, and all that is waiting is for her to create a new chapter in life.
