At the end of the day,
We all tell stories
Because they are the only thing
We can hold onto.
Stories are the thread
That we can weave across
Disparate and contradicting
Times of our lives.
Stories are the reasons
We make up in our heads
For all of the loss, grief, and pain
We’ve each withstood.
And stories are malleable.
We can emphasize and exaggerate
The pieces that make us feel
Our stories are real.
But most importantly,
We can always
Change the ending we foresee.
