My story has been confined to the pages of a book
The words flowing softly from it like water from a brook
Each day that I am forced to live is an additional page,
Another scene in my life’s act that is performed on a stage
Each chapter is filled with joy and pain, depression and love
Filled with the stories of a small boy, some are undreamed of
From the abandonment of a father to the love of a mother
The story of being forgotten because of a reckless brother
The chapter of how this boy found a new man to call Dad
Then one day he dies and the boy wears tear-stained plaid
A chapter of depression during the middle school years,
Describing the pain that caused a mother’s tears
After middle school comes a chapter on redemption for this boy
Where he finally learns about the offer God’s ultimate joy
Following the path that the Lord had set many years before
Jesus knocked on this boy’s heart and he finally opened the door
But the book doesn’t close there for the story goes on
A new page is started at the beginning of each dawn
This is my story which is being engraved onto my soul
By the One who shall forever and ever be in control

Please,pretty please 
Looking back at all my old, free verse poems, I'm amazed at how many trophies I was given with them. That's why I'm rewriting so much of my poetry just because I know I can make it better by rhyming. There are only a few really great free verse writers on here that I really respect for their ability. If I were to try and write free verse now, it wouldn't turn out that good. Once I get better at my rhyming and all of that, I'll probably head back to free verse and try some more complex forms.
Good luck in judging

... it was a very interesting piece, I never would have thought about writing a biography into a poem
