Not a Box of Chocolates

Life is like a play and we all play a part.
We%u2019re all main characters in our own little plot.
But in this play the story never ends.
Until we take that final bow,
And the curtain is closed,
Never to be opened again.

Life is like a book that you read for the first time.
You never know what%u2019s going to happen.
So you keep reading to find out
If the hero will have a happy ending or not.
Only this time around, you are the hero.
And you choose whatever ending you want.

Life us like your favorite tv. show
That you watch all the time.
You%u2019ve seen all the episodes up to the final one.
And when the last one airs,
You can%u2019t help but have some sort of nostalgia.
So you watch the reruns over and over again.

Life is like anything you want to compare it to.
Life is good, life is bad.
Life is wonderful, life is crap.
Life is meaningful, yet meaningless.
Sometimes life%u2019s purpose is to have no purpose at all.
Yet, life is always worth living.

Hmmm, I think I wrote this back in my senior year of Highschool. Why I'm just now posting it? Cause I just found it the other day and was like hey! I rememebr this! So thought I'd share it with you. Title was inspired by a scene from Forest Gump.

And preview image came from google. So it's not mine.
