This poem is the by product of my cinematic craze and enjoyment of movies. When you stop and think about the course of your life so far, you will realize that it is like a beautifully written cinematic masterpiece. Your memories are both tragic and joyful, all bundled up to form your own unique biography.
Life is a Film
Sequences of memories
Stitched together
Both good and bad
Suspenseful, Scary, Sappy
Our narrative can be…
Unpredictable
It is a beautiful masterpiece
Teeming with bright colours and loud sounds
From first kisses to last wishes
The film is neverending
Prequel and sequels,
It is a whole series
A series of (un)fortunate events
Nostalgia washes over us
As we watch our film on the big screen
That hides in our minds
Flashbacks remind us of the good times,
The days of no tomorrow.
Laughter and weeping are non-stop
It’s a box office masterpiece
“5 stars”, “Bravo”
“O’ what a great production!”
Our hearts flutter as the credits roll
The shining stars are those who left their mark
On us…
Who molded, manipulated, and moved us
We must never forget
That we control our narrative, our film
…our ending
Fin
