self-help book

be my self-help book

tell me others have made it and so will i

tell me all your faults

who you were and who you will be

how you became that person

tell me stories of encouragement

push me to greatness

show me the path, but do not hold my hand as i walk

you can gather my pieces, but you can not put me back together

a book can only do so much, let the reader figure out the rest
