Life Is...

My life is a storybook.

I am the hero, the villain, or even the damsel.

With every good day, the kingdom of my mind has a feast.

Every bad day brings it starvation.

My life is the adventure.

The ups and downs, the exhilaration;

It brings my plot to life.

During my crusades through education,

The knowledge gained is another jewel in the riches of information.

Along my travels, I may meet a few comrades- or even a lover.

Comrades and lovers, on the other hand, come and go with a sense of some fulfillment;

The good times fill your belly like a tankard of mead on a late night.

Alas, I continue to trek onward 'till my final breath.
