Words

Life is words,
   like a story,
     hundreds of pages long,
 that awaits a soon to be released sequel,

Or a well defined classic,
  with a definitive ending.

For most a entire book would mean,
               too much fluff,
 in between the triumphs and failures,

 Short stories or articles might suffice for most,
    but then again of these words were defined wisely,

would you even need that?

   A paragraph,
      A sentence,
         A word,

Or what about a pile,
   organized or not,
     from beginning to end,
     a discombobulated story emerges,

    If you could write this life,

Would you whisper it to your family,
          Or shout it out loud for all to read?
