Memoir

Lyndsay Knowles
Jul 10, 2017 · 1 min read

I step back
and try to find it.

The truth of this story.

To see each angle,
embellishment,
edit and cut.

Lost in the pages,
unable to find my way out.

I look for the cracks,
the omissions
in the words of each line.

And I wonder —

Who owns the stories
we tell of our lives?

Whose truth
does this story reveal?
