Typewriter Series #1740 by Tyler Knott Gregson

Text for Tired Eyes:

This was a new book, this year, one we never
intended on reading, and these, the final pages,
this, the final paragraph.  I know this story
needs a new direction, I know we need
new heroes, and I know we are ready
to write new words.  Please don’t slam
the cover when midnight finds the hour,
please don’t burn the paper of it all,
for there were beautiful sentences,
hiding, in the literature we just endured.  
Offer your goodbyes to the characters
stolen from us, blow kisses to the sky
and worry not about them landing;
they will land.  Stand, when a minute
passes beyond the celebratory hour,
and sturdy your shoulders, prepare your
hand for writing, prepare your heart for
words.  We will not be written this way
again, we will not be erased.  
We are the heroes if we believe it
so, we are filled with magic undiscovered.
We
are the authors of this new story,
so let our words be fierce,
so let our words
be true.
