Poem 1: Book Full of Secrets

Under my box lies a book full of secrets

and in it reveals I have lived more than just once.

I have indeed been an array of people;

I’ve been sharp, I’ve been keen,

I’ve been stupid and guilty.

I’ve had many different names and several new faces,

I’ve travelled the world, seen a lot of strange places.

I’ve done some dangerous things,

I’m not really proud of

and through it all I can say,

I’ve not given up once.
