Fanfiction

• Artist: Tomore
• Description: This is a sonnet I wrote for a class a few weeks ago. I call it 'Fanfiction' because with real fanfics, sometimes, people take characters and concepts that had already been established and were dear to the original author, and they twist them into whatever suits them at the time.
  
  If life were a book, then giving up control of it to another would turn your story into fanfiction.

On my shelf there lies a work of fiction,
it chronicles my life with clarity.
Other hands within mock my depictions;
they fill my pages with hilarity.
How this plot began, I could not tell you.
To me, the chapters always seemed so clear.
Yet I stood back and watched, as I withdrew,
ghostwriters edit out all I held dear.
But it was I who let them plagiarize
my memories and twist the written word,
for I, callow, and all the word implies,
my authorship to other minds transferred.
Yet I believe, if I steal back the pen,
they cannot take my book from me again.
