A page in time

I took a page
Out of someone elses book
Tried to make it
Part of my own story

I know it wont
Fit in my book
But I still try
To force it in

With the rest of
The stolen pages
None of them are
Really part of me

But everyone demands
I have a story to tell
It never mattered where
The words came from

So I keep stealing
Page by page
From books I've
Never even read

I mix and match
Until the stories I tell
Sound realistic enough
For even me to believe

Sooner or later though
Someone will see
The torn edges of
Each stack of cheat sheets

And maybe then
I can finally find
The time to write
My own true story
