Books sit on shelves waiting for us to seek them

Pages turning, yet never being read

Untold stories, never spoken, never said

 

For when the words are spoken aloud and the pages opened for good

The stories can live out and the regrets are yet no longer understood

 

The Book of Regrets sits wide and heavy

Yet pages fly out when we say we are ready

To explore the library of books and Choices

 

Of that which we did not choose

That which the readers are too scared to peruse

 

Sitting in the Library, waiting for us to see

the multitude of lives we lived but didn’t set us free

the Lives that stayed parallel to that which rooted us

 

Those things that we thought of but didn’t speak too loud

Those things that haunted us and kept us from being proud

 

The Midnight library sits and waits wondering what we’ll choose

What we’ll leave past its due date

How long until we open it, the story that will make us happy

 

The Book of Regrets sits waiting in suspense

Watching as we go back and forth in a trance

 

What books do we need to open?  

Do we need to finally see?

What infinity of books are sitting, seeking, waiting for me.

The Midnight Library is a must-read, a soul-searching book that will truly heal your soul and spirit. When Nora decides she no longer wants to live, she ends up in the Midnight Library–a Library full of the books of all the lives Nora never chose to live. Nora is blessed with the opportunity to choose from any of the infinite books that sit on the shelves, and figure out what will truly make her happy.

The Midnight Library exists for all of us–every day, every minute. What story have you not chosen for yourself, that you need to pick up and start reading today? You don’t have to live in the fictional novel to visit the Midnight Library. You can choose to go there yourself, to start writing the story of the life you want to live. The Book of Regrets is written by you. You can choose to write in it, or you can choose to write the story of the Life that Makes You Happy.
