The Power of a Story MAG
August 28, 2022
"you can only trust yourself"
my mother told me
for years on end
but i think the only problem was
i didn't even trust myself
for years on end
because for every boy that broke my heart
i fell into a new piece of art
into the welcoming arms
and everlasting charms
of my favorite characters
and for every friendship lost
and the people I had crossed
my TV and bookshelf behold
so many stories untold
of things that would never change
and for every mistake I had made
and the memories I would easily trade
I always seemed to come back to
the stories that made me feel less blue
