Suppose This Is How Life Is

Doesn't matter if in life you are not doing well
You like all others have your own stories to tell
Of towns and places you have been to and people you have met
Some of them quite memorable and some you would rather forget
Of the autobiographies of some famous people millions of copies are sold
Though the life stories of many will never be told
Suppose this is how life is and will always be
The impressionable majority create celebrities is how it seems to me
The judgmental may not rate you as a success
But you have your own story to tell nonetheless
We all have our stories of our journeys in life
Of our happy times and our times of inner strife
But only the stories of the wealthy and famous in book form are told
Things have not changed much in that respect since the days of old.
