Life is a Soundtrack
that you can't stop or pause.
Nor is there playback
No edits; It is raw.
New noises are so loud.
Life becomes fortissimo.
You play strong, You play loud.
People might not always like that though.
Proud turns to andante.
Life begins to change.
It begins to feel pesante;
heavy, ponderous, with weight.
There are new notes upon each line;
and with that I say, al fine.

I had to write a Shakespearean sonnet for English class. This is what I wrote.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
