She tore through all the pages, skipped over every line,

Searching for the names in the chapters of her time.

She flew past life's lessons, & all her learned mistakes,

To find her happy ending, & escape all the heartaches.


She quickened through each paper leaf,

Missing every spring,

Eluding every friendship,

Avoiding every sting.


Slowly the words grew fuzzy, & began to fade away

You can't just have the roses, you need the whole bouquet.


You cannot have the joyful without shedding a single tear,

And you can't skip through the book of Life without living all your fears.
