My Story
i live a legend a legend of my own making i have breathed putrid air
have looked at a
dying moon i am the shapeshifter of my story
i guess you get the
idea it's all about me i am my father's daughter
i scream at the top
of my lungs no one hears me it is not the end of the world
if the story doesn't
come out right it is just a poem the story of my life

Note: Elizabeth's
words to replace the wordle this week.
“To
cope with mystery, we create a story. Having no idea who we are,
where we came from, where we're going, or what life means, we adapt
by giving names to things and pretending that the names and the
stories are real. That's the root of our ignorance.” From “The
Fiction of Being” --Mark Matousek

Love it Annell, and not just because you used the words I chose and responded to my challenge. When I hit that line, "I am the shapeshifter of my story," I was clapping and yelling, YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! and immediately started hearing the words to my own shapeshifter poem. What a brilliant idea you have had, and I also love the quote and have to read the book. Thank you,
Elizabeth
