Everything's made of a story.

I want to know them all.

I read every tome in the library.

Meet every person I can.

Listen to very long playlists,

Try to find out who I am.

Through reading and hearing new tales

I make sense of my own life story.

Discovering bit by bit

Where I’ll find my glory.

Though I’m still uncovering more

Stories have taught me to see

The traits and memories that I adore

Make up the mess that is me.

Tangles of string

Yarn in a knot

Myself not yet made, not started.

Each narrative heard, each myth I am told

Untangles the threads and uncertainty

Though I’m not yet sure what I’m aiming for

The stories inspire me.
