Pages

I’ve kept diaries for quite a while,

And sometimes I go back to read them–

To revisit days that have passed and feelings I never understood.

I can remember the day as it happened and the moment I sat down to record

The events on paper.

I can relive my confusion and find clarity as I turn the pages.

It seems that life makes the most sense when reviewed backwards.

But all you can do is keep turning your pages.
